To solve the problwm we must know about trignometric functions.

Trigonometric functions

$Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$Tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

where perpendicular is the side of the triangle which is opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90° angle.

The area of the triangle is 46.672 cm².

Given to us

Base angle, ∠P = ∠R = 55° 30'Each Congruent Side, QP =QR = 10 cm

Assumption

Let the altitude(QS) be h, and the base of the triangle(PR) be b.

A.) The altitude of the triangle

The altitude of the triangle

In ΔPQS

$Sin(55^o\ 30') = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\Sin(55^o\ 30') = \dfrac{QS}{PQ}\\\\Sin(55^o\ 30') = \dfrac{h}{10}\\\\h = Sin(55^o\ 30') \times 10\\\\h = 8.24$

Hence, the altitude of the isosceles triangle is 8.24 cm.

B.) The length of the base

The length of the base

In ΔPQS

$Cos(55^o\ 30') = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\Cos(55^o\ 30') = \dfrac{PS}{PQ}\\\\Cos(55^o\ 30') = \dfrac{\dfrac{b}{2}}{10}\\\\\dfrac{b}{2} = cos(55^o\ 30') \times 10\\\\{b} = cos(55^o\ 30') \times 10\times 2\\\\b = 11.33$

Hence, the base of the isosceles triangle is 11.33 cm.

C.) The area of the triangle

The area of the triangle

$Area\ \triangle = \dfrac{1}{2}\times Height(altitude)\times base$

$Area\ \triangle PQR = \dfrac{1}{2}\times h\times b$

$= \dfrac{1}{2}\times 8.24\times 11.33\\\\=46.672\ cm^2$

Hence, the area of the triangle is 46.672 cm².

Answers:

55 deg 30 Minutes = 55.5 degrees

sin = opp/hyp

sin(55.5) = altitude/10

Altitude = 10*sin(55.5)

Altitude = 10 * sin(55.5) = 8.241261886

Rounded to nearest 10th

Altitude = 8.2 cm

b. for base use Low of Cosines

Let C = base

Side A and B = length 10 Cm

c^2 = 2*a^2 -2a^2*cos(<C)

<C = 180 - 2*55.5 = 180 -111 = 69 degrees

c = sqrt ( 2a^2 - 2a^2*cos(<C)

c = sqrt ( 2*100- 200*cos(69))

c = sqrt (200 - 200*cos(69) ) = 11.32812474

Answer base
c = 11.3 cms

c.
Area = (1/2)*b * h
Area = (1/2)*(answer a * answer b)
Area = (1/2)* 11.32812474* 8.241261886 = 46.67902132

Area = 46.7 (rounded)

Area = ( 1/2) * a*b*sin(<C) = (1/2)*10*10*sin(69) =
Area = 50* sin(69) = 46.67902132
Area = 46.7 (rounded)

honestly bro aint no one got time to answer these dumb question just do it p***y

Answer from: Quest

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p

"stay and stay proud! " - zalgo

(by the way, do you mind marking me as brainliest? i'd greatly appreciate it! mahalo! x3)
