Let?ABC be required triangle AB=AC=5cm BC=8 cm Let AD be the altitude We know that perpendicular drawn from vertex bisect the base. Therefore BD=4 cm Using Pythagoras theorem we get AD= 3 cm Area of ?ABC=1/2 × base×height =1/2×8×3=12 cm2

Perpendicular on base of isoceles triangle bisect the third side. So using pythagoras we get height = 3 cm Now area of triangle= 1/2 *height *base =1/2*8*3=12 sq cm

The angles of a triangle are arranged in ascending order of magnitude. If the difference between two consecutive angles is 10°, find all the three angles.
Let the any one of the angle of triangle be x then other two angle are x+10, x+20 According to Question, x + (x+10) + (x+20)=180 3x + 30 = 180 3x = 150 x = 50 Thus, angles would be 50, 60, and 70.
