Explanation:

what is the formula for the area of a triangle ? hmm ?

area = baseline × height / 2

in our case (it does not matter for this question, if it is an isoceles triangle or not, the formula applies to all)

area = sqrt(5) × 1 / 2 = sqrt(5)/2 cm² = 1.118033989... cm²

Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf Area = 1.12 \ cm^2}

Explanation:

Given data:

Height = h = 1 cm

Base = b = √5 cm

Required:

Area = A = ?

Formula:


\displaystyle Area = (1)/(2)(b)(h)

Solution:


\displaystyle Area = (1)/(2) (√(5) )(1)\\\\Area = (√(5) )/(2) \\\\Area = 1.12 \ cm^2\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}
