正确答案 · Correct Answer
D
解析 · Solution
Solution 1
Because , is an isosceles triangle with . Angles in a triangle add up to , and since , the other two angles are also , and is an equilateral triangle. Therefore .
We can divide in half and connect this point to A, dividing in half. This means the base will be and the hypotenuse will be 17. By using the Pythagorean's Theorem, we see that if the base and height are shared, the hypotenuse should be the same. This tells us that the length of . Take an equilateral triangle with side length 17. is congruent to this by , hence it is equilateral. The answer is 17.
