How can you find the height of aparallelogram by using area and base?

You can find the height of a parallelogram given the area and base measures by working backwards from the area formula. The area of a parallelogram is found with the formula: Area = Base * Height To solve this equation for Height, we divide both sides by the base. Area / Base = (Base * Height) / Base Simplify: Area / Base = Height


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


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.

Can you find the base and height measurements for a triangle if the area is 22?

No. I can only find the height in terms of the base (and area) of the triangle, or the base in terms of the height (and area) of the triangle. Specifically, since: area = 1/2 x base x height ⇒ 22 = 1/2 x base x height ⇒ 44 = base x height I can rearrange that to: height = 44 ÷ base or base = 44 ÷ height For example, the triangle could have a base of 11 units and a height of 4 units; alternatively, the triangle could have a base of 10 units and a height of 4.4 units; or, the triangle could have a height of 2 units and a base of 22 units; etc.


In a triangular prism what is the difference between the height of the base and the height of the prism?

The height of the base is part of the triangle and the height of the prism is the height of the rectangle


Can you calculate the base of a triangle if the side and height are known?

If you know the total area and the height are known, you can find the base. Area=(1/2)(base)(height), so if you know the height and area you can solve for the base. So now, Base=Area/(1/2)(height)


How do you find the base of a triangle when the area and height is given?

Area = 1/2*Base*Height so Base = 2*Area/Height
