The peculiarity of isosceles triangles is that two of their sides have an identical length. It should be noted that the opposite angles to the sides that have the same length are also equal. This means that these triangles not only have two equal sides, but also two equal angles. You can find its area easily using the following formula:

Where:

b=Its base

a=one of its equal sides
