How do you find the area of a triangle when you only know the height?
if you know the two legs of the triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse as the base. Then you use the formula to find the area of the triangle: 1/2 (pi) bh.
How do you find the height of a triangle?
If you know the area, divide by the half the base. A = 1/2 b x hYou need to know at least one of its acute angles and then use trigonometry to find its height.The answer depends on what information about the triangle you do have.
How do you find surface area of a 3-D triangle?
First, you'd need to be absolutely sure of what a "3-D triangle" is. With the information given in the question, and the Math I know, I'm not there yet.
How do you find the area of the triangle when the height and the area is given?
The area of the triangle is 1/2*bh. So if you know the height and the base just plug in the values.
How do you find the length of a side in a triangle that is not a right triangle?
Use either the Sine or Cosine rules depending on the information you know about the triangle.
How do you figure out the actual area of your tent?
If you know how to find the area of a triangle do the same thing and you will get the same answer.
How do you find base of triangle with area and base?
It appears as if you already know the base.
How do you find length of base if you already know the area of triangle?
You will need to know the height before you can calculate the base form the area.
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle if you know the area?
You cannot. For a given area, an equilateral triangle will have the smallest perimeter but that perimeter can be increased - without limit - without increasing the area.
How do you find the base of a triangle if you know height and slope?
You cannot since the information is not sufficient. Furthermore, a triangle does not normally have a slope.
How do you find the height when you know the Area and the base?
in a triangle double area and divide by base in a rectangle divide area by base
How do you find the base and height of a triangle when you already know the area?
area = 1/2 base * perpendicular height you can't find both the base and the height if you only know the area
