An isosceles triangle has two congruent side lengths of 20 inches. The base of the triangle has a length of 32 inches. What is the height of the
triangle?
12 inches
10 inches
15 inches

h = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The legs are 32/2 = 16 and the height h

The hypotenuse is 20

16^2 + h^2 = 20^2

256 + h^2 = 400

h^2 = 400-256

h^2 = 144

Taking the square root of each side

h = sqrt(144)

h =12

$4034.40

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
