Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 3 Find the area of an isosceles triangle SOLUTION Find the area of the isosceles triangle with side lengths 10 meters, 13 meters, and 13 meters. STEP 1 Draw a sketch. By definition, the length of an altitude is the height of a triangle. In an isosceles triangle, the altitude to the base is also a perpendicular bisector. So, the altitude divides the triangle into two right triangles with the dimensions shown.

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 3 Find the area of an isosceles triangle Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height of the triangle. STEP 2 Pythagorean Theorem Substitute. Multiply. Subtract 25 from each side. Find the positive square root. c 2 = a 2 + b 2 12 = h 13 2 = h = 25 + h = h 2

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 3 Find the area of an isosceles triangle Find the area. STEP 3 = (10) (12) = 60 m ANSWER The area of the triangle is 60 square meters. Area = 1 2 (base) (height)

Warm-Up Exercises Section 7.1

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 4 SOLUTION Method 1: Use a Pythagorean triple. A common Pythagorean triple is 5, 12, 13. Notice that if you multiply the lengths of the legs of the Pythagorean triple by 2, you get the lengths of the legs of this triangle: 5 2 = 10 and 12 2 = 24. So, the length of the hypotenuse is 13 2 = 26. Find the length of a hypotenuse using two methods Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 4 Find the length of a hypotenuse using two methods SOLUTION Method 2: Use the Pythagorean Theorem. x 2 = x 2 = x 2 = 676 x = 26 Pythagorean Theorem Multiply. Add. Find the positive square root.
