Retired math prof. Very extensive Precalculus tutoring experience.
Since b = c, ∠B = ∠C = 65°. So, ∠A = 180° - ∠B - ∠C = 50°.
Using the Law of Sines, sin50° / a = sin65° / 20
So, a(sin65°) = 20sin50°
Therefore, a = 16.90

m∠B = 65º by Isosceles triangles
m∠A = 50º by sum of angles
a / sin 50° = 20 / sin 65°
