If it is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height since it will be
on of the sides.
If it is an equilateral triangle, you can break it up into two right triangles and use the part above.
If it is an oblique triangle, you use the angles and some trigonometry to find it.
Since the area is 1/2 b x h, if you are given the area, you can solve for the height.

Find the area of an equilateral triangle with side 10?
Finding the perpendicular height of the triangle by using Pythagoras works out at about 8.660254038. 1/2*base*perpendicular height or altitude = area 1/2*10*8.660254038 = 43.30127019 square units
Write an algorithm to calculate the area of a triangle?
Area of any triangle: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
How do you calculate the area of a pyramid?
Base times Height divided by three. The base is perpendicular to the height, which ends at the highest point of the pyramid. To find the area of the base, one simply uses 2-dimensional geometry. Triangle: Base of triangle times height of triangle over 2 Any regular polygon: Apothem (perpendicular distance from orthocenter to a side) times perimeter divided by 2.
How do you calculate the area of an equilateral triangle?
Area = 1/2*base*perpendicular height.
How do you get te area of a scalene?
Area of a scalene triangle: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
How do you find th area of triangle?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height
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.
How do you find area of a trinagle?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height
How do you find the base and height of an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has 2 equal base angles and its height is perpendicular from its apex to the centre of its 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.
When can you use two side lengths to find the area of a triangle?
The area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
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
Define base of a triangle?
any side of the triangle that is perpendicular to the height.
What goes from a vertex of a triangle to where it is perpendicular to the opposite side?
that is the height of the triangle
How is the formula for the area of a triangle related to the formula for an area of a parallelogram?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
What is a triangle with height called?
All triangles have a height because the area of any triangle is 0.5*base*perpendicular height
Can the base and height of a triangle be perpendicular?
YES!!! When calculating the area of a triangle the equation is A = (1/2)bh That is the base(b) is multiplied to the perpendicular height(h), and then multiplied by '1/2' or '0.5'.
