In the given question, we have

Area of isosceles triangle =

Here, we have:

a = 5 cm and b = 8 cm

∴

= 2 ×

= 2 × 6

= 12 cm²

Also, Area of an isosceles triangle having each of the equal sides as a and base b =

∴ Both Assertion and Reason are true

Hence, option (a) is correct

Assertion(A)	Reason (R)
The area of an isosceles triangle having base = 8cm and each of the equal sides = 5cm is 12cm².	The area of an isosceles triangle having each of the equal sides as a and base =b is .
