An isosceles triangle has an area of 24 cm^2, and the angle between the two equal sides is 5π/6. What is the length of the two equal sides? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The area of a triangle is given by:
A = 1/2 x a x b x sinC
a = b in an isosceles triangle.

24 = 1/2 x a² x sin(5π/6)
a = 9.80 cm
