Medium Geometry And Measurement Triangles

Triangle DEF is an isosceles triangle where the lengths of the two equal sides (DE and DF) are each 10 cm and the base (EF) is 12 cm. What is the area of triangle DEF?

To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

$$ ext{Area} =\frac{1}{2} imes ext{base} imes ext{height}$$

In this case, you will need to find the height of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.
