Medians of isosceles triangle

The isosceles triangle has a base ABC |AB| = 16 cm and 10 cm long arm. What are the length of medians?

Correct result:

t1 =  6 cm
t2 =  12.3693 cm
t3 =  12.3693 cm

Solution:

t1=102−82=6 cm

Try calculation via our triangle calculator.

t2=162+52−2⋅ 16⋅ 5⋅ cos⁡(arcsin⁡(6/10))=12.3693 cm
t3=t2=12.3693 cm
