It is very unlikely for a right angle triangle to be isosceles, however it is possible if the angles are 90, 45, and 45 degrees. It does not matter if the triangle is isosceles, this method works for all right triangles. The following formula is your answer, when h=hypotenuse, and a and b are other two sides. a2 + b2 = h2

You know base and angles how do I find height of isosceles triangle?
Use the sine rule to work out one of the sides. (a/sina = b/sinb = c/sinc) Then as it is an isosceles triangle the perpendicular dropped from the apex will (a) bisect the base and (b) form a right angle with the base. Now you know one side and the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle and you use Pythagoras (a2 + b2 = c2) to solve the 'other' side of that, which is the height of the isosceles triangle.
What is the leg of isosceles triangle if the base is 10 and area is 10?
An isosceles triangle is in effect two right angled triangles joined together and in this case they have bases of 5 units and heights of 2 units so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the hypotenuse which will be the length of one of the equal legs of the isosceles triangle:- 52+22 = 29 and the square of this is about 5.385164807 or 5.385 to 3 dp
How do you find height of isosceles triangle if you only know the length of equal sides and the base?

An isosceles right triangle is inscribed in a circle Find the radius of the circle if one leg of the triangle is 8 cm?
First you half all the sides, so 4cm, them you multiply by pi, giving the radius as 12pi, or 12.56637061
Find length of the base if perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 70 in?
That's not enough information to solve the problem.
