Providing it's a right angle triangle the formula is: hypotenuse2-base2 = height2

How do you find the area of the right angle triangle given the base hypotenuse and perimeter?
It is: perimeter minus hypotenus+base = height Area = 0.5*base*height
How do you find the base of a right triangle when only the height is given?
Use trigonometry if another angle is given. Use Pythagoras' theorem if the hypotenuse is given. Multiply the area by 2 and divide it by its height if the area is given. Or simply measure it.
How can you find the height of a right triangle when you have the base and hypotenuse?
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
If the legs of a right triangle are Cm and Cm find its hypotenuse?
No dimensions have been given but to find the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle use Pythagoras' theorem.
How do you find the altitude of a right triangle?
If you are given the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem.
How can you find the base of a right triangle when you have the height and hypotenuse?
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.
How do you find the area of the right angle triangle given the base hypotenuse and perimeter?
It is: perimeter minus hypotenus+base = height Area = 0.5*base*height
What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.

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 find the height of a fight triangle when the hypotenuse is 9?
I guess you meant a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 9 units.Long answer:If the hypotenuse is used as the base of the triangle, the height will be any value greater than 0 units and less than or equal to 41/2 units.If one of the other two sides is used as the base, then the height will be any value greater than 0 units and less than 9 units such that height = √(81 - base2).Short answer:You can't without further information about one of the other two sides.Short answer expanded:Then you can use Pythagoras to find the third side.If one if the non-hypotenuse sides is the base, then the height is the other side.Otherwise with the hypotenuse as the base, the height is given by:height = product_of_the_other_two_sides ÷ hypotenuse
How do you find the altitude of a right triangle?
If you are given the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem.
How do you find the measures of a right triangle if the length and width are given?
The answer will depend on whether the length is the hypotenuse or one of the legs of the triangle.
How do you find the length of the other two sides of a triangle when given a hypotenuse?
Unless you are given atleast 2 other angles, there is no way to find them out.
How do you find the hypotenuse with only a leg and a degree?
If it's a right angle triangle and an acute angle plus the length of a leg is given then use trigonometry to find the hypotenuse.
