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
