Such triangle which two parties are equal among themselves is called isosceles. All formulas intended for determination of the area of any triangle are fair as well for isosceles. However formulas of the area of an isosceles triangle have simpler appearance and are sometimes more convenient in calculations.
Knowledge of only one parameter (corner sizes) is not enough for finding of the area of a triangle. If there are any additional sizes, then for determination of the area it is possible to choose one of formulas in which as one of the known variables also corner size is used. Several such formulas applied are most frequent, given below.
