Triangle ABC is isosceles with AB = BC. If AB = 20 and [ABC] = 240, then find the perimeter of triangle ABC.
Area of triangle ABC
This question is WRONG!!!
[ABC] cannot be more than 200 square units!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's the corrected question:
Triangle ABC is isosceles with AB = BC. If AB = 20 and [ABC] = 180, then find the perimeter of triangle ABC.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ABC] = 180 AB = BC = 20
FE = [ABC] / BC = 9
x/9 = 9/(20-x)
x = 10 - √19
AC = 2[sqrt(x2 + 92)] ≈ 21.244
Perimeter ≈ 61.244
