5) Here is an isosceles triangle, this means that the triangle has two angle that are the same.
Here they are labelled .

a. What is the angle ?

b. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
c. What is the area of the triangle?
To help you start it is best to divide the triangle into half as shown below:
i. Divide the triangle into half and get this to find the hypotenuse and the
height. The hypotenuse should help you find the perimeter, and the height
should help you find the area.
