Answer:
The perimeter of isosceles triangle = 44 cm
Perimeter of isosceles triangle = 2 * Equal sides + base
Let the length of equal side be 4x and base be 3x
Then, 2 * 4x + 3x = 44cm
8x + 3x = 44 cm
11x = 44 cm
x = 44/11 => 4 cm
Length of equal sides = 4 * 4 => 16 cm
Length of base = 3 * 4 => 12cm
TO FIND HEIGHT OF TRIANGLE WE WILL USE PYTHAGORAS THEOREM IN 1 HALF OF THE ISOSCELES TRIANGLE AS FOR PYTHAGORAS THEOREM WE NEED RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE ..... Then base = 12 / 2 => 6 cm.
(Hypotenuse)^2 = base^2 + height^2
16 * 16 = 6* 6 + (height)^2
256 = 36 + (height)^2
256 - 36 = (height) ^2
220 = height^2
√220 = height of triangle
NOW
AREA OF TRINGLE = 1/2 * base * height
= 1/2 * 12 * √220
= 6 * √220
= 6 * 2√55
ANSWER ====> 12 √55 sq. cm
