PLS HELP SHOW ALL YOUR WORKING OUT BRAINLIEST

Accepted Solution

A:
Area of a triangle = height x base ÷ 2When ever you have an isosceles triangle, remember that you can split it in half to form two right angled triangles - which allow you to use Pythagoras' Theorem.So we split 10cm in half to get 5cm.We can then use 13cm and 5cm to work out the height:Height = √(13²  - 5²)      (Note: you subtract because you are using the                = √144              (hypotenuse)            =  12---------------------------------------------------------Now to get the area, we just multiply the base (which is 10) by the height (which is 12) and divide by 2:Area = 12 x 10 ÷ 2         = 6 x 10               (note: 12 ÷ 2 = 6 )         = 60 cm² _____________________________________Answer:60 cm²
