Answer to Problem 26PSC

The length of a leg of an isosceles triangle is 10.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Perimeter =32,

Side AD=8 .

Formula used:

The below theorem is used:

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides”.

In right angle triangle,

  a2+b2c2

Calculation:

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 9.4, Problem 26PSC , additional homework tip  2

An isosceles triangle has two legs congruent.

  AB¯AC¯

Two triangles are congruent under ASA congruence rule.

  ΔABDΔACD

  BC=322xBD=DC=16x

Side x can be calculated by applying Pythagoras Theorem in triangle ADB .

In right angled triangle ADB , we get

  (AB)2=(AD)2+(BD)2(x)2=(8)2+(16x)2(x)2=64+25632x+x232032x+x2=x2320=32xx=10
