The answer depends on whether the base is one of the legs of the right angle or the hypotenuse. Also, a triangle cannot have a diagonal.

How do you find the height of a triangle if you know the length of 2 sides?
You cannot calculate the height of a triangle from just the length of two sides. You would either have to measure it or obtain additional information about the triangle.
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 find the area of a right triangle without the height?
you can't unless you measure it.
How do you find the heighth of a triangle?
To find the height of a triangle, you can use the formula: height = (2 * area) / base. The base of the triangle is one side of the triangle to which the height is perpendicular. The area can be calculated using different methods depending on the information available, such as using the lengths of the sides and Heron's formula or using the base and the height.
Area of an isosceles right angled triangle?
The area of a right angled triangle would be .5 * length *width where the length is the height of the triangle. To find the height of the triangle, take the sine of 45 degrees, which is the degree of the angles other than the 90 degrees, and multiply it by the length of one of the two equal sides. The width of the triangle is the length of the bottom side.
How do you get the height of a triangle?
To find the height of a triangle you measure it. It has to be from the middle of the base to the top point.
Which is the height of the triangle?
As for all objects, vertically measure it.
The width of your triangle is 5m the height is 2m what degrees is it?

The diagonal of a square wall is 13 feet. Which measure is closest to the height of the wall?
9.2 ft
How do you work out a length of a triangle?
The way you can work out the length of a triangle is if you are given the height and the area of that triangle ( this works of you don't want to measure it) or you could just measure it.
Find the area of a Rhombus whose side is 6cm and altitude is 4cm. If one of the diagonal is 8cm long find the length of the other diagonal?
Rhombus Area = side x height = 6 cm x 4 cm = 24 cm2In the right triangle formed by the side and the height of the rhombus, we have:sin (angle opposite to the height) = height/side = 4 cm/6cm = 2/3, so thatthe angle measure = sin-1 (2/3) ≈ 41.8⁰.In the triangle formed by two adjacent sides and the required diagonal, which is opposite to the angle of 41.8⁰ of the rhombus, we have: (use the Law of Cosines)diagonal length = √[62 + 62 -2(6)(6)cos 41.8⁰] ≈ 4.3Thus, the length of the other diagonal of the rhombus is about 4.3 cm long.

How is the height identified on a triangle?
you measure how much it goes up on the tallest side
How do you find the height of a triangle while not knowing the area?
It's simple. Measure it!

you can't unless you measure it.
How do you find the height of an equilateral triangle if you have the length of the hypotenuse?
An equilateral triangle hasn't a hypotenuse; hypotenuse means the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle. An equilateral triangle has no right angles; rather all three of its angles measure 60 degrees. Knowing the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle does not give enough information to determine the triangle's height. But the length of a side (which is the same for every side) of an equilateral triangle is enough information from which to calculate the height of that triangle. The first way is simply to use the formula that has been developed for this purpose: height = (length X sqrt(3)) / 2. But you can also use the geometry of right triangles to solve for the height. That is because you can bisect the triangle with a vertical line from the top vertex to the center of the base. The length of that line, which splits the equilateral triangle into two right triangles, is the height of the equilateral triangle. We know a lot about each right triangle formed by bisecting the equilateral triangle: * - The hypotenuse length is the length of the equilateral triangle's side. * - The base length is half the length of the hypotenuse. * - The angle opposite the hypotenuse is 90 degrees. * - The angle opposite the vertical is 60 degrees (the measure of every angle of any equilateral triangle). * - The angle opposite the base is 30 degrees (half of the bisected 60-degree angle). * - (Note that the sum of the angles does equal 180 degrees, as it must.) Now to solve for the height of a right triangle. There are a few ways. For labeling, let's let h=height of the equilateral triangle and the vertical side of the right triangle; A=every angle of the equilateral triangle (each 60o); s=side length of any side of the equilateral triangle and thus the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Since the sine of an angle of a right triangle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse, we can write that sin(A) = h/s. Solving for h, we get h=sin(A)/s. With trig tables you can now easily find the height.
