Answer 1

36

Explanation:

Answer 2

D. 32 units

Explanation:

Isosceles measures 11 + 11 + 10 base.

Area = 32 unit sq

We can double check by creating a vortex and new point 90 degree. This is found at central height line.

base = 5 square 25 12 square 144 (144-25=√119) = 10.91

As we can prove that the matching sides are 10.91

= 10.91 +10.91 +12 = 32 with rounding (= 11 +11 + 10 = 32).

= 32units.
