The answer will depend on what information you do have.
If you know two sides and the included angle you can find the area. Then perpendicular distance = 2*Area/Base.
If you know all three sides then you can use the cosine rule to find one of the angles. Then, you have two sides and the included angle and can proceed as above. Actually, you can find the area directly from the three sides.
If you know one side and two angles, you effectively know one side and all three angles. You can use the sine rule to find one of the other sides and then you have two sides and an included angle and so can proceed as before.
There are more complicated solutions where other measures are known.

How do you find the minimum distance between two targets?
The perpendicular distance is the shortest.
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle with perpendicular height?
The height of a triangle alone is not enough information to find the perimeter. You need some angle measures or side lengths.
Prove that the tangent at a to the circumcircle of triangle abc is parallel to bc where triangle abc is a isosceles triangle?
The circumcircle of a triangle is the circle that passes through the three vertices. Its center is at the circumcenter, which is the point O, at which the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle are concurrent. Since our triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle, the perpendicular line to the base BC of the triangle passes through the vertex A, so that OA (the part of the bisector perpendicular line to BC) is a radius of the circle O. Since the tangent line at A is perpendicular to the radius OA, and the extension of OA is perpendicular to BC, then the given tangent line must be parallel to BC (because two or more lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line).
Where is the altitude of a right triangle?
Perpendicular to the base
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.
How do you find the altitude outside of a triangle?
The altitude of a triangle is the distance from the line containing the base to the vertex. Draw the base and continue on outside of the triangle. Measure perpendicular from that line to the vertex.
What is the perpendicular distance from the base of a triangle to the opposite vertex?
That is the height of the triangle, the h in the formula a = 0.5b x h
How do you find th area of triangle?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height
What is a height of a triangle?
The perpendicular distance from the base (either the longest side or the bottom) to the other corner
Does an equilateral triangle have perpendicular sides?
No. a equilateral triangle does not have perpendicular sides.
Does equilateral triangle have perpendicular sides?
No. a equilateral triangle does not have perpendicular sides.
How do you find the minimum distance between two targets?
The perpendicular distance is the shortest.
Perpendicular bisector of a triangle?
Is a line that bisects a side of a triangle and is perpendicular to that side.
Which triangle is the only triangle that has perpendicular lines?
The Right Triangle. Perpendicular lines make a right angle.
How do you find the incenter?
The incenter is the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle's sides
How do you find area of a trinagle?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height
Does a triangle have sides that are perpendicular?
No, not in general. Only a right triangle has two sides which are perpendicular.
