How do you find the perimeter of a isoscles triangle all you know is the base and height?

-- Imagine what you have if you slice the triangle in half along the height ...
-- You have a right triangle. One side of it is 1/2 of the base, and one side is
the height.
-- The slanting side is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and knowing what
you know about right triangles, you can calculate its length.
-- Once you do that, you have the lengths of all three sides of the original triangle,
and you can calculate the perimeter.

How do you find the perimeter of a triangle with the base and height?
im pretty sure its base*height squared
Suppose you know the perimeter and the height of an equilateral triangle explain how you would find the area of the triangle.?
The base is one third of the perimeter, half of the base times the height is the area.
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and the perimeter is 39 what is the length of a leg?
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and its perimeter is 39, then it has a height of 12.87.
How do you find the area of the right angle triangle given the base hypotenuse and perimeter?
It is: perimeter minus hypotenus+base = height Area = 0.5*base*height
Perimeter of a triangle with base length and height length known?
Is indeterminate.

What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a triangle when given the base and the height?
You multiply the base and the height and then you divide the answers of that by 2. :)
How do you find the area a triangle with perimeter of 72?
Area of a triangle in square units = 0.5*base*height
What is the perimeter of a triangle which a diameter of 8 inches?
Triangles don't have a diameter. They have a base and a height.
What is the perimeter of a triangle with a base of 5 inches and a height of 10 inches?
Perimeter: 5+10+length of its 3rd side
How many lines of symmetry has an isoscles triangle have?
The isosceles triangle has one line of symmetry, the perpendicular bisector of the base
How do you do area and perimeter of a triangle?
The area of a triangle is the base length multiplied by the height divided by two.A = b*h/2The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of all of the side lengths.P = side1 + side2 + side3
Base of triangle is 10km and height is 12km what is the perimeter of this triangle?
There are many different triangles with a base of 10 km and height of 12 km, and they have different perimeters. The smallest perimeter occurs if the third vertex is directly above the midpoint of the base; then the altitude from that vertex divides the triangle into two congruent triangles with sides 5, 12, and (by the Pythagorean theorem) 13. The sides of length 12 are shared, so the perimeter of the triangle is 36 km in this case. If the third vertex is moved to one side but kept at the same height, the perimeter increases; there is no upper bound on the perimeter that can be achieved.
