How can you find the height of a triangle if you only have the base?
You can't! If the base is the only side you know, you'll need two angles to define the triangle entirely
Leg of a triangle?
It is usually a side from the apex of the triangle to the base. However, in the case of a right angled triangle a leg could refer to the two sides which define the right angle.
Define square based pyramid?
square based pyramid is made up of four triangle and a flat square base and it is a solid figure
When calculating area what are the similarities between triangles and parallelogram?
Parallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*Height
Can a median triangle also consider as a base?
The median of a triangle cannot be considered as a base of that triangle.

Can a triangular pyramid be called a rectangle pyramid?
No. A triangular pyramid describes a triangle whose base is a triangle (not just the sides which define it as a pyramid), whereas a rectangular pyramid is one whose base is a rectangle. A triangle and a rectangle are not the same (a triangle is not a rectangle, and a rectangle is not a triangle), so it would be incorrect to refer to a triangle-based pyramid as a rectangle pyramid.
Define a circumscribed triangle?
a circumscribed triangle is a circumscribed triangle and will always be
If I have the height and another measurement of a triangle how do I find the base?
Regardless of whether the "other measurement" is an angle or the length of something, that much information is never enough to define anything else about the triangle.
Define square based pyramid?
square based pyramid is made up of four triangle and a flat square base and it is a solid figure
Why can't a triangle ever be labeled as the triangle's height?
Conventionally a triangle's height is given as the perpendicular distance to the apex above an arbitarily defined base. Without such a definition, the formula for the area of a triangle, 0.5 x base x perpendicular HEIGHT, would have no meaning. However, a single height measurement given in isolation does not define any particular triangle as that alone can be found in an infinate number of triangles.
When calculating area what are the similarities between triangles and parallelogram?
Parallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*Height
Define right triangle?
It is a triangle, one of whose angles is a right angle.
Does a triangle prism have a base?
Every prism has a base. For a triangular prism the base is a triangle.
Can a median triangle also consider as a base?
The median of a triangle cannot be considered as a base of that triangle.
The area of a triangle is 6 square feet. The base is 3 times the height.What is the base of the triangle?
The base of the triangle is 6 feet
