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
The length of the hypotenuse, alone, is not sufficient to determine the area of a triangle.
A triangle that has one right angle and is isosceles is called an isosceles right triangle.
Isosceles
An isosceles triangle can have a 90 degree angle, but doesn't necessarily. Similarly, a right triangle can be an isosceles triangle, but isn't necessarily.
Yes.
do you want to know the area in a isosceles triangle or what?
Area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
Area of isosceles triangle: 0.5*5*7 = 17.5 square cm
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?

Area of the right isosceles triangle: 0.5*16*16 = 128 square units
V= area of the triangle x length
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.
isosceles triangle
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.
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.
