When we talk about the base of a triangle, we refer to the side perpendicular to the height. In an isosceles triangle, the base is the side opposite the vertex angle.

Have you been stumped, asking yourself how to find the base of an isosceles triangle? Our triangle makes your job easy. When you enter the values of the known sides and or angles, our isosceles triangle find A calculator will help you find the base.

Suppose you are aware of the area of the triangle plus the height; you may choose these from the options at the top, then enter these values, and the value of the base will be generated. Alternatively, if you know the vertex angles and the sides labeled $B$, you may choose the vertex angle $\beta$ and side $B$ option to enter these, and our calculator will determine the base's length.

You may also enter the angles of the vertex angle $\beta$, and the sides labeled $B$, or the side $B$ and the height $H$, and our calculator will work out the base.

Note well: You need to reload this calculator before each use.

To find the base of an isosceles triangle from the height and $B$, we can use a version of the Pythagorean theorem:

where $B$ represents the hypotenuse, $A$ the base, and $H$ the height. As always, we use the Pythagorean theorem with right-angled triangles only. So, to do this, you will need:

1. The triangle's height and the sides that are labeled $B$.
2. In this instance, because $A$ is twice the base of the right-angle triangle, our initial formula will be
   $B^2 = \left(A/2\right)^2 + H^2$.
3. Now, let's make $A$ the subject of the formula:

To find the base of an isosceles triangle when given the area and height, we use the formula:

When we make the base the subject of the formula, we get:

Next, you will need to substitute in whatever values you are given for area and height and solve the equation.

To find the base of an isosceles triangle, when given the angle of the apex and side $B$, you use the law of cosine or the cosine rule:

To find the base of an isosceles triangle with a congruent side of 6 cm and base angles of 80 degrees:

1. We will use the formula:
   A² = B² + B² - 2(B)(B)cos(β)
2. Substitute in the known values:
   A² = 6² + 6² - 2(6)(6)cos(80)
3. Solve the equation:
   A² = 36 + 36 - 72 × cos(80)
A² = 72 - 72 × 0.17
A² = 72 - 12.24
A² = 59.6
A = √59.6
