For the answer to the question above,
The triangle can be divided into 2 right triangles with 10 cm base, 18 cm hypotenuse. We need to find the measure of the long side to get the height of the isosceles triangle.
a² + b² = c²
a² + (10cm)² = (18cm)²
a² = 324 cm² - 100 cm²
a² = 224 cm²
a = √224 cm²
a = 14.97 cm
Area = 1/2 base height
A = 1/2 20 cm 14.97 cm
A = 149.70 cm²
A = r/2 p
149.70 cm² = r/2 (18cm+18cm+20cm)
149.70 cm² = r/2 56 cm
149.70 cm² ÷ 56 cm = r/2
2.67 cm = r/2
2.67 cm 2 = r
5.34 cm = r
So the answer to this question is
5.35 cm is the radius
