The 'base' is the length of the side that the triangle is standing on.

The 'height' is the vertical distance from that line to the vertex at
the top of the triangle.

Can you find the base and height measurements for a triangle if you know its 22 square units?

No


How do you know which measurements are the base and the height of a triangle?

It does not matter. Any side can be the base. Then, the height is the perpendicular distance between that side and the opposite vertex.


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.


When calculating area what are the similarities between triangles and parallelogram?

Parallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*Height


Can you find the base and height measurements for a triangle if you know that the area is 22 square units explain why or why not?

No, because there are infinitely many combinations of base and height which will lead to that result.


What can be said about the base and height of a triangle?

That the area of a triangle = 0.5*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 is the base height and area of a triangle related?

Because the area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height


What is the height of a triangle when its the base is 10cm?

It is impossible to find the height of a triangle with just it's base.


What is the area of a tringle with 5 base and height 14?

Area of the triangle: 0.5*5*14 = 35 square units of measurements


What isThe area of a triangle 4 by 7?

The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.


How does the area of a triangle change if the base is doubled and the height is halved?

you can easely calculate it: the original measurements: 6(bottom)*6(height)*½=18 double the base half the height: 12*3*½=18 so it remains the same
