You can't! If the base is the only side you know, you'll need two angles to define the triangle entirely

How you find the height of a triangle if only you have the area and the base?
YOu divide the Base by half, and then DIvide the area by half of the base to get the height.
How do you find the base and height of a triangle when you only have the area of the triangle?
If you only have the triangle's area, then you only know the product of (base times height) ... it's double the area ... but you can't tell what either of those individual lengths is.
How do you find the base of the triangle if you only have the height and area?
Simple. Just multiply the base by the height of the triangle, and divide it into two. This works for all types of triangles.
How do you find volume and area of a triangle?
A triangle has no volume - it is a 2-dimensional shape only. To find the area, multiply the base times the height, then divide by 2. The base is any side of the triangle; the height must be measured perpendicular to the base.

Multiply the area by 2 and divide by the base
How do you find the base of a triangle if you only have the height and the area?
base = (2*area)/height
How you find height of a triangle if you only have the base and the area?
you divide them

How do you find the height of a triangle if only given the area and base?
So, you divide the base by 2. Then, you divide the area by that answer and you'll find the height.
How do you find volume and area of a triangle?
A triangle has no volume - it is a 2-dimensional shape only. To find the area, multiply the base times the height, then divide by 2. The base is any side of the triangle; the height must be measured perpendicular to the base.
Can you find the base and height measurements for a triangle if the area is 22?
No. I can only find the height in terms of the base (and area) of the triangle, or the base in terms of the height (and area) of the triangle. Specifically, since: area = 1/2 x base x height ⇒ 22 = 1/2 x base x height ⇒ 44 = base x height I can rearrange that to: height = 44 ÷ base or base = 44 ÷ height For example, the triangle could have a base of 11 units and a height of 4 units; alternatively, the triangle could have a base of 10 units and a height of 4.4 units; or, the triangle could have a height of 2 units and a base of 22 units; etc.

Multiply the area by 2 and divide by the base
How do you find the base and height of a triangle when you already know the area?
area = 1/2 base * perpendicular height you can't find both the base and the height if you only know the area
How do you find the height of a triangle if you only have the base and two angles?
Use trigonometry depending on what type of triangle it is.
How do you find the height of a right triangle with only knowing its base and base angle?
You have to use trig. If the base angle is a and base b, the height is b tan(a).
