The formula is:
Area = base * height.
With an isosceles triangle, two of the angles are congruent and their opposite sides are congruent. There is one remaining angle (that will be referred to as the top angle) and its opposite side (the base). You will probably have to drop a perpendicular line from the top angle to the base. This will bisect the base into two equal parts. Also, you now have two congruent right triangles.
It depends on what you know with this triangle in order to find its height and/or base. However, use the Pythagorean Theorem and I'm sure you can work it out.

What do two isosceles look like?
It depends on isosceles WHAT? There are isosceles triangles, isosceles trapezia, for example.
How do you draw a isosceles tiangle?
isosceles tringles consist of two sides being the same length and one side being a different length. example the length of side a is 4cm the length of side b is 4cm and the length of side c is 6cm
If an isosceles tiangle has two 16 foot sides that meet at a right angle what is the length of the remaining side?
The length of the hypotenuse is [ 16 sqrt(2) ] = 22.627 ft (rounded)
If a tiangle is scalene then it is never isoceles?
A triangle is called a scalene triangle if its sides have different length measures. Since in an isosceles triangle there are two congruent sides, it cannot be a scalene triangle.

What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
What is the area of a right isosceles triangle with a hypotenuse is 16 square root 2?
Area of the right isosceles triangle: 0.5*16*16 = 128 square units
Area of isosceles triangle?
Area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
What is the area of an isosceles triangle where base is 1.1 cm and height is 1.5 cm?
Area = 1/2*base*height = 0.825 sq cm. The fact that the triangle is isosceles is irrelevant: it makes no difference to its area.
