it depends on the numbers you do get and what type of triangle it is. If somehow you can get it to be a right triangle and you have either the height or the hypotenuse, use the Pythagorean Theorem, A^2 +B^2=C^2... A and B being either the height or base and C being the hypotenuse. (side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse)
The base side of a triangle can be any side of the triangle - the height of the triangle is the perpendicular distance from this side to the opposite vertex.
If you do not know the base length, then you must not know the length of any side of the triangle. You need to know one height and two other facts:
If you know all three heights of the triangle, then the area can be worked out using:
area = 1 ÷ (4 x √(h(h - 1/x)(h - 1/y)(h - 1/z)))
where
- x, y, and z are the three heights of the triangle; and
- h = 1/2 (1/x + 1/y + 1/z)
If you know the one height of the triangle and the angles at the ends of the base of the triangle, the base length can be worked out by trigonometry to give the area as:
area = 1/2(cot A + cot B)h2
where
- h is the height of the triangle; and
- A and B are the angles at the ends of the base.

How do you find the area of a triangle without the base?
You need to measure how wide it is and the height of the triangle then multiply them together and the you get your answere.
Formua for area of a triangle?
The formula for finding the area of a triangle is: Area = (base * height) / 2.
What is the area of a triangle with the base of 10 and the height of 12?
The area of triangle is : 60.0
What is the area of a triangle with base 16 cm and altitude to that base of 8 cm?
The area of triangle is : 64.0
What is the area of a triangle with a base of unit and a height of 7 until?
Area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*height
How do you find the area of a triangle without the base?
You need to measure how wide it is and the height of the triangle then multiply them together and the you get your answere.
How do you get the base of a triangle when you have the height and area?
Area of a triangle = base * height / 2 Therefore the base = Area * 2 / height
What is the area of a triangle with base 2cm and 5cm?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height
What is the formula for area of a base and area of a triangle?
A base is normally a line and therefore has no area; the area of a triangle is half of base x altitude.
Formua for area of a triangle?
The formula for finding the area of a triangle is: Area = (base * height) / 2.
What is the area of a triangle with the base of 10 and the height of 12?
The area of triangle is : 60.0
How is the base height and area of a triangle related?
Because the area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height
How are the formulas for area of a triangle and rectangle similar?
the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height
What is the area of a triangle with base 16 cm and altitude to that base of 8 cm?
The area of triangle is : 64.0
What is the area of a triangle 5xll?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height
How can you find the height of a triangle if you have base and area?
The relation between the height of a triangle, its base and its area is given by: Area = 0.5 * Base * Height Therefore, we have: Height = (2 * Area)/ Base.
Area of a triangle base of 10 and a height of 15?
The area of a triangle is (1/2) x (length of the base) x (height of the triangle). You ought to be able to handle it from this point.
