Let the vertices of the given isosceles triangle be ABC respectively.

As it is an isosceles triangle, so two sides AB = AC = 13 cm

Length of the base BC = 20 cm

Construction: Draw perpendicular AD .

In triangle ADB,

=>> BD = 10cm (As D is mid point of BC)

=>> AB = 13 cm

=>> AD² + BD² = AB² (Using Pythagoras theorem)

=>> AD² + 10² = 13²

=>> AD² = 13² - 10² = 8.3 cm

So,

area of triangle ABC = 1/2 × 20 × 8.3 cm²

area of triangle ABC = 83 cm².
