Chapter 4.8, Problem 1CYP

To determine

To draw:

Position and label isosceles triangle $JKL$ for given condition.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $JKL$ on coordinate plane so that its base $\overline{JL}$ is $a$ unit long, vertex $K$ on the $y-$ axis and the height of the triangle is $b$ units.

Sketch:

  

Interpretation:

Isosceles triangle $JKL$ when $JKL$ on coordinate plane so that its base $\overline{JL}$ is $a$ unit long, vertex $K$ on the $y-$ axis and the height of the triangle is $b$ units is illustrated as above.
