Find the area of an isosceles triangle each of whose equal sides measures 13cm and whose base measures 20cm.


Let,


a = 13 cm


b = 13 cm


And,


C = 20 cm


Now,


s =


=


= = 23 cm


We know that,


Area of triangle =


=


=


= 10


= 10 × 8.306


= 83.06 cm2


Therefore,


Area of isosceles triangle = 83.06 cm2
