Construct an isoeceles triangle whose base is 8 cm and altitude 4 cm and then another triangle whose sides `1(1)/(2)` times the corresponding sides of the isoeceles triangle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Thus the new triangle is similar to the given triangle and the sides are `(3)/(2)` times the corresponding sides of `triangle ABC`.
