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.
How do l work out the area of a triangle?
A right triangle is easy, simply multiply the two sides and divide by two. A non-right triangle is a bit more of a challenge. You have to make it a right triangle by adding a right triangle to it. Calculate and then subtract the area of what you had to add.
How do you find the height of an isosceles triangle when given only the three side lengths?
Make it a right triangle where one side of the right triangle is half the length of the non-identical side of the isosceles, the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the length of one of the identical sides of the isosceles triangle, then use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. Where "a" is the length of one of the identical sides, and "c" is the length of half the non-identical sides. Solve for "b" and that is your height.
How do you work out the perimeter of a non right-angled triangle?
-- Measure or calculate the length of each of its 3 sides. -- Add the lengths of its 3 sides. -- The sum is the perimeter of the triangle.
When finding the sides and angles of a right triangle when is it necessary to use Trigonometry?
if you have any two sides, you can calculate either of the (non right angle) angles. if you have a (non right angle) angle and one side, you can calculate any other side. you will need either tables, or a scientific calculator with sin / cosine / tangent function

Calculate a side of a triangle?
Pythagoras's' theorem or "got an want" on a right angled triangle but use sine rule on a non right angled triangle !! ..

How do you find the hypotenuse of a non right triangle?
By definition, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle in a right angled triangle. Therefore, a hypotenuse does not exist as one of the three sides in a non-right angled triangle.
What is a non-isosceles right triangle?
A non-isosceles right triangle is a right triangle (one angle is 90 degrees) and all sides are of different lengths. (therefore causing all angles to be different too). This type of triangle is known as a right scalene

Do the non-right angles in a right triangle equals 45?
They can but not always.
How many right angles in a scalene triangle?
Any triangle can have a maximum of one right angle. Most right triangles are scalene triangles. The only non-scalene right triangle is a 45° - 45° - 90° isosceles right triangle. It is not possible to have an equilateral right triangle in plane geometry. A scalene triangle does not have to have a right angle, but it can have one.
What are the forulas that can find the area of a non right triangle?
For triangles its base time height times one half or base times height divided by two. Personaly I would go with divided by two because you dont have to turn what you have into a fraction.
What is an example of a non example of pythagorean theory?
Finding the sides of any triangle that is not a right angle triangle
