An isosceles triangle ABC (as shown in the figure) has a circumference of 28cm. The heights of its two sides are 5cm (AD) and 4cm (be). What is the area of this isosceles triangle in square centimeter?

An isosceles triangle ABC (as shown in the figure) has a circumference of 28cm. The heights of its two sides are 5cm (AD) and 4cm (be). What is the area of this isosceles triangle in square centimeter?

Because the height of the two sides of the isosceles triangle ABC is 5cm (AD) and 4cm (be), so AB: AC: BC = 5:5:4, so BC = 28 × 45 + 5 + 4 = 8 (CM). 8 × 5 △ 2 = 20 (cm 2). A: the area of the isosceles triangle is 20cm 2
