The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is .
The ratio of the equal side to its base is .
Find the area of the triangle.
Step 1. Find out the sides of the triangle.
Let be an isosceles triangle with a perimeter of .
Since it is given that the ratio of its equal side to its base is .
Therefore, the sides of the triangle are
Since the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all three sides.
Thus, the sides of a triangle are
Step 2. Calculate the area of the triangle.
The Semi-perimeter of an isosceles triangle is computed as:
The area of an isosceles triangle is computed by using heron's formula:
Hence, the area of an isosceles triangle is .
