Sagot :

Answer:

base = 18.89

legs = 16.89

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 68 = 180

2x + 68 = 180

2x = 112

x = 56

The altitude = 14

Tan(56) = opposite / adjacent

adjacent = base

opposite = altitude

Tan(56) = opposite / base                Multiply both sides by the base

base * Tan(56) = opposite                Divide by Tan(56)

base = opposite / Tan(56)

base = 14/tan(56)

base = 9.443

The base is actually twice this length because the altitude lands on the midpoint of the opposite side and is perpendicular to the third side (base).

base = 18.886  

Legs are the hypotenuse formed by 1/2 the base and the attitude.

Sin(56) = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin(56) = altitude / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = altitude / Sin(56)

hypotenuse = 14 / sin(56)

hypotenuse = 16.887

Rounded

base = 18.89

legs = 16.89
