Area = base x altitude /2 so base = 2 x area/altitude = 64/6 = 10 & 2/3 cm.

How would you work out the perpendicular height of a triangle if they give you the area?
I think you need at least one other piece of information. A length of a side? An angle? Is it a right angled triangle?
Who found out how to find the area of a triangle?
Find the length of the base and the perpendicular height. Multiply together. Divide answer by 2. Area of Triangle = ½(Base x Perpendicular Height) For right angled triangles, take the length of the two shortest sides, multiply them together and divide the answer by two.
Is the height of an equilateral triangle the same as the side lengths?
No. 1/2 base squared + height squared=side squared on an equilateral triangle.
What are the proprietaries of a right angled triangle?
Sum of exterior angles: 360 degrees Sum of interior angles: 180 degrees The square of its hypotenuse is equal to the sum of its base squared plus its height squared.
What is the formula for the area of a right angled triangle?
As with all triangles: base x height ------------------ 2 Base is one side of the triangle, and height is a line drawn perpendicular from it to the opposite vertice (corner). If you want to get into Trigonometry, there's another way, but I forget it. Sorry.
What is the Area of a right angled triangle?
1/2*base of triangle*height(the perpendicular)=Area of right angled triangle
Which statement best describes the area of the triangle?
The squared area of a triangle is half of its base times its perpendicular height. Or as: 0.5*base*perpendicular height = area of a triangle
If you have the width and height of a triangle how do you get the third length?
Really you don't have enough data to calculate this.The height is not necessarily one of the three sides. The height is perpendicular to the width.If the triangle has a right angle, and you know two of the sides, you can calculate the third side using the rule of Pythagoras (a squared + b squared = c squared).Really you don't have enough data to calculate this.The height is not necessarily one of the three sides.

What isThe area of a triangle 4 by 7?
The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.
Is the height of an equilateral triangle the same as the side lengths?
No. 1/2 base squared + height squared=side squared on an equilateral triangle.

If weRotation of a right angled triangle about its height what shape we will get?
An isosceles, possibly equilateral, triangle
How can you take out the area of a right angled triangle?
multiply the base of the triangle by the height then halve the answer.
Define base of a triangle?
any side of the triangle that is perpendicular to the height.
