The length of the leg of the second triangle is 13.6cm. and this can be determined by using the properties of the triangle.
Given :
- Two isosceles triangles have congruent base angles.
- The lengths of a leg and the base of one triangle are 17 cm and 10 cm respectively.
- The length of the base of the other triangle is 8 cm.
The length of the leg of the second triangle can be determined by using the following steps:
Step 1 - Let the length of the leg of the second triangle be 'a'.
Step 2 - According to the given data, the triangles have congruent base angles.
[tex]\dfrac{17}{10}=\dfrac{a}{8}[/tex]
[tex]17\times 8 = 10a[/tex]
[tex]a = \dfrac{136}{10}[/tex]
a = 13.6 cm
The length of the leg of the second triangle is 13.6cm.
