there is no specific formula for isos triangle.....

1/2bh..which means 1/2xbasexheight is the formula for all types of triangles.....so if we take isos as a triangle we can use this formula to calculate the area of the figure!

What is the Surface area of isosceles triangle?

Ok to find the area of an isosceles triangle: Find the height first, to do this use this formula: Height = Square root ( one side square - half the base square) Now that you have the height you can calculate the area by the use of this formula: Area = (1/2)(base)(height) This will give you the surface area of an isosceles triangle. Lets do an example: You have a triangle that has two sides that measure 24 meters and a base of 20 meters. Using the formula above for height you will get a height of 21.8 meters Now use the formula above to find the area and it will give you an area of 218 meters square
