Given an isosceles triangle with base 12, the sides are 10. Height to the base = 8. Area of the triangle = 48.

Given an isosceles triangle with base 12, the sides are 10. Height to the base = 8. Area of the triangle = 48. Find the height to the side of the triangle

The area of a triangle is equal to half the product of a side by the height of the triangle drawn to that side. Thus, we compose the equation: (8 * 12) * 0.5 = (12 * x) * 0.5, where x is the desired height drawn to the side, after calculating we get the result:

x = 8 * 12/10, x = 9.8
