Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 14tan(24°)

area = 0.5(base)(height)

Find the angle that triples the height.

tanθ = 3×14tan(24°)

θ = arctan(3×14tan(24°)) ≅ 53.2°

The base angle will be 53.3 degrees when the area gets treble.

What is isosceles triangle?

A triangle with two sides of equal length is an isosceles triangle.

What are base angles?

The angles that have the base as one of their sides are called base angles.

Formula for area of triangle

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]

Where,

b is the base of the triangle

h is the height of the triangle

According to the given question

We have,

Base angle of the isosceles triangle is 24 degrees.

Base of the isosceles triangle is 28 cm.

In triangle ABC

We have

BC = 28cm, BD = 14cm, AD = h and ∠ABD = 24 degrees

Now, in right angle triangle ABD

[tex]tan24 = \frac{h}{14}[/tex]

⇒ tan24 × 14 = h

Therefore,

Area of triangle ABC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 28 × 14 × tan 24

Area of triangle ABC = 196tan24

Therefore, the base angles of an new  isosceles triangle when the area get treble is given but with the same base  by

Area of new isosceles  = 3× area of triangle ABC

⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]× 28 × tanθ × 14 = 3×196tan24

⇒tanθ =  3 × 0.4452

⇒ tanθ = 1.3356

⇒ θ = [tex]tan^{-1}(1.34)[/tex]

⇒ θ = 53.3 degrees

Hence, the base angle will be 53.3 degrees when the area gets treble.
