How do you find the area of an equilateral triangle without knowing the height?
You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.
What is the height of the triangle if the area is 108 m2?
Without knowing its base its almost impossible to give a correct answer.
How do you find the perimeter of a isoscles triangle all you know is the base and height?
-- Imagine what you have if you slice the triangle in half along the height ...-- You have a right triangle. One side of it is 1/2 of the base, and one side isthe height.-- The slanting side is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and knowing whatyou know about right triangles, you can calculate its length.-- Once you do that, you have the lengths of all three sides of the original triangle,and you can calculate the perimeter.
How do you calculate height of triangle?
Messure it,
How do you calculate the square meters of a triangle?
The area of a triangle is base x height / 2. Height should be perpendicular to base.

How do you find the base and height of a triangle if you only have the hypotenuse?
I'm pretty sure that only works if it is an isosceles right triangle. In that case, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the base and height knowing only the hypotenuse. A2 + B2 = C2. A=B= height= base. C= hypotenuse
How do you calculate the height of the triangle when you have the base and an angle?
something
How do you calculate the square meters of a triangle?
The area of a triangle is base x height / 2. Height should be perpendicular to base.
How do you calculate the height of a non right triangle?
The answer depends on what information you do have about it.
What is the area of a triangle with base 12cm and height?
The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. To understand this, think of a rectangle or a square. To calculate the area of this object you would use length * width (which is the same as base * height). If you cut this object in half, you get a triangle. So that area of any triangle is 1/2 * base * height. I cannot answer your question because you are missing the triangle's height but you should be able to use the formula above to calculate the answer on your own.
How do you find the height of a triangle while not knowing the area?
It's simple. Measure it!
What is the formula for area for a triangular prism without the height?
It is impossible to find the area of a triangle with no height, if the triangle had no height it would not even be a triangle, just a angle.
How do you calculate the height of a triangle when all you have is the area?
You cannot. There is not enough information.
