Question

triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle with base 8 cm and equal side measuring 5 cm find the area of triangle a.5cm b.9cm c.12cm d.15cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

option c) 12 cm is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

draw a perpendicular bisector on base BC then the point where bisector meet BC name as M

Now, BM=4 cm

By pythagorean Theorem

AB2=AM2+BM2

5Square=AM2+4sqaue

25-16=AM2

SO, 9=AM2

under root 9=AM

Therefore AM=3

Now area of triangles ABM and ACM

so, 2×1/2 × 3×4

= 12 cm2
