Answer to Problem 5PSA

The value of perpendicular JG in an isosceles triangle is 9 units.

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Triangle is isosceles.

One of the two equal sides is 15 units.

Base of the triangle = 24 units

  FG=12FH=12×24=12 units

  JF = 15 units and  JGF = 90o

Formula used :

Altitude bisects the base of isosceles triangle at a right angle.

Calculation :

On using Pythagoras theorem in Δ JGF , we have

  JF2=FG2+JG2152=122+JG2JG2=152122=225144=81JG=9 units
