If you know the length of the sides, you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the height. Use half the base for one of the shorter sides, and either of the two identical sides of the triangle for the hypothenuse. Solve for the other one of the shorter sides (the height).

An acute triangle can be an isosceles triangle, but it doesn't have to be. An isosceles triangle can be an acute triangle, but it doesn't have to be.
assuming its an isosceles triangle, then its 16 cm high
A right triangle and an isosceles triangle have the fact that they are both triangles in common. A right triangle can also be an isosceles triangle.
You cannot. An isosceles triangle cannot be scalene and a scalene triangle cannot be isosceles. So an isosceles scalene triangle cannot exist.
yes a scalene triangle is a isosceles triangle.* * * * *No. A scalene triangle is not an isosceles triangle. The sides of a scalene triangle must all be of different lengths. In an isosceles triangle two of the sides must be the same length. If all three sides are different (scalene) then two cannot be the same (isosceles).
