प्रश्न
Each of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle is 25 cm. Find the length of its altitude if the base is 14 cm.
उत्तर
We know that the altitude drawn from the vertex opposite to the non-equal side bisects the non-equal side.
Suppose ABC is an isosceles triangle having equal sides AB and BC.
So, the altitude drawn from the vertex will bisect the opposite side.
Now, In right triangle ABD
By using Pythagoras theorem, we have
`AB^2=BD^2+DA^2`
⇒ `25^2=7^2+DA^2`
⇒ `DA^2=625-49`
⇒ `DA^2=576`
⇒ `DA=24 cm`
