If the length of equal sides of an isosceles triangle is 5 cm and base is 6 cm, then find its area using heron’s formula.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a = 5 cm

b = 5 cm

c = 6 cm

s = (5+5+6)/2 = 8 cm

According to Heron's formula,

Area= √{s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)}

= √{8 (8-5) (8-5) (8-6)}

= √ (8*3*3*2)

= √ 144

= 12 cm²

Therefore, the area of the isosceles triangle is 12 cm².
