How do you determine the height of an equilateral triangle?
It is the height of the perpendicular line from its vertex to its base
What is the formula for finding the area for a parrelelogram?
Base x Height Remember: Height = The line which extends from the top to the bottom of the shape where the line meets the base at 90 degrees
How do you find the area of a parrallelagram?
To get the area of a parallelogram a person must multiply the height by the base. The height must be found by making a perpendicular line from the base of the parallelogram.
How to find the attitude of a triangle?
If you mean "altitude", and by that you mean the height of the top of the triangle above its base, then draw a line from the top of the triangle to the base, at right angles to the base, and measure that line. Alternately, the height of a triangle above its base is twice the area divided by the base length.
What is the formula for finding the area of a trianglee?
One-half the base times the height A = 1/2 * b * h Where the base is the horizontal line on the bottom and the height is a line (not necessarily part of the triangle, you might have to draw it in) that is exactly perpendicular to the base.
What are the base and height measurements for a triangle?
The 'base' is the length of the side that the triangle is standing on.The 'height' is the vertical distance from that line to the vertex atthe top of the triangle.
How do you find the slant height of a pyramid with a rectangular base?
If you make a line from the top of the pyramid to the center of the base, you have the height of the pyramid. This meets at the midsegment of a line going across the base. Since the height of a pyramid is perpendicular with the base, get this: the height, a line of 1/2 the length of the base, and the slant height form a right triangle. So, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem! For example, if the base length is 6 and the height of the pyramid is 4, then you can plug them into the Pythagorean Theorem (a squared + b squared = c squared, a and b being the legs of a right triangle and c being the hypotenuse). 1/2 the length of the base would be 6 divided by 2=3. 3 squared + 4 squared = slant height squared. 9+16=slant height squared. 25= slant height squared. Slant height=5 units. You're welcome!
What is the formula for finding the surface area of a triangle?
The formula for the area of a triangle is base times height, divided by 2. The base is one of the sides and the height is a perpendicular line connecting the base to its opposite point.
How do you find an area in a triangle?
Multiply the length of the base by the height and divide by 2. The base can be any of the three sides. The height is the perpendicular distance from a vertex not included on the side chosen as the base to the base (or if the triangle is obtuse, from the vertex to a line extending from the base)
What is the length of a perpendicular segment from a vertex of a triangle to the line that contains the base?
The vertical height.
Why is it called perpendicular height?
Because we measure the height as the length of a perpendicular line from the base.
How do you calculate the height of a non-right triangle?
To locate the height of a non-right triangle, you may need to extend the base of a triangle. Then pick one corner and draw a line perpendicular to the extended base. This line you just drew is the height. Finding this height will depend on what triangle dimensions you are given, so the answer will vary. Note: the extended part does not count as the actual base. It is only used to help you find the height of a triangle.
