Question

An isosceles triangle, with equal sides labeled 20 feet. The length of base is labeled 32 feet. The altitude drawn on base is 12

Find the area of the isosceles triangle.

The area is?

Answer 1

A = 192 ft^2 (feet squared)

this is because the altitude (12 ft) is your height and 32ft is your base

formula for area of a triangle is A = 1/2 bh
b: base
h: height

plug in your values to get that A= 192 ft ^2

hope that helps :)
