To calculate: The perimeter of the
The resultant answer is 32 cm.
Given information:
One of the congruent side of an isosceles triangle is 10 cm long and one of the congruent angle has a measure of
Formula used: The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is
Calculation:
Draw an isosceles triangle using the given information:
The side ‘ a’ is congruent side of an isosceles triangle d ‘ b’ is remains side.
Now find angle A ,
Now use law of sine’s to find b ,
Isolate b ,
The perimeter of isosceles triangle:
Substitute the values of
Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is 32 cm.
Yes, drawing a diagram helped in solving the problem.
The length of the third side of the isosceles triangle is needed to find the triangle.
The third side of the triangle is calculated using the sine’s law.
