Question

how would you solve this?

Answer 1

i have no reply of dis pellet

Answer 2

assume triangle as isosceles: ab = bc = ac = 15. ad = perpendicular bisector. you have right traingle adc. ac = hypotenuse. if you can see it, the question is circular because all sides are equal. regardless of where you draw the perpendicular bisector, you will always get one of the sides as the hypotenuse. so the length of the other two sides is 15 since it is an isoceles triangle after all.
