use pethagoreon theorm.
Example: a=? b=3 c=5
since your trying to find a, your equation would be
a² + 3 ²= 5²
a² + 9 = 25
deriving the formula to get "a"
25 - 9 = 16
a² = 16
√ a = √ 16
a = 4

What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
Does the altitude of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No. Not if the triangle is right angled (the intersection is AT the right vertex) or obtuse angled (intersection outside).
What is the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
Sqrt x2+y2
The legs of a right triangle are altidudes?
If one leg of a right angled triangle is regarded as the altitude then the other leg is the base.
What is the formula for finding altitude and area of equilateral triangle?
The altitude formula is like this: Area x 2 divided by the base ( Ax2:b) The area formula is base x height divided by 2
What is the formula to find the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
It is: c2-b2 = a2 whereas c is the hypotenuse, b is the base and a is the altitude
What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
Where is the altitude of a right triangle?
Perpendicular to the base
Draw a triangle where the altitude is a side of the triangle?
Any right triangle resting on a leg.
What is formula of area of triangle?
1)1/2*base*altitude
What is the triangular prism volume formula?
The Formula is Base*Height, or 1/2 Height (altitude of the triangle) * Base (of the Triangle) * height (Height of the prism)
Which statement about an altitude of a triangle is always true?
An altitude intersects another altitude at the centroid. FALSE - The altitudes intersect at what is called the orthocenter.An altitude intersects another altitude at its midpoint. FALSE - The altitudes will meet at random intersection points.An altitude is present inside a triangle FALSE - The altitude can be outside the triangle.An altitude makes a right angle with a side of the triangle. TRUE - An altitude is the line from a vertex to the opposite side, forming a right angle.
What is the formula for finding the altitude of a triangle?
actually it's a2+b2=c2 the altitude is a or b and can be found by c2/a2*=b2* * a2 and b2 are interchangeable. by the way this only works with right triangles.
What is the altitude of a right isosceles triangle with an altitude of 10?
I would hazard a guess and say it was 10.
Does the altitude of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No. Not if the triangle is right angled (the intersection is AT the right vertex) or obtuse angled (intersection outside).
What is the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
Sqrt x2+y2
What is the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle?
The altitude of an equilateral triangle is (√3)/2*a. where 'a' is the side of the triangle. It can be just find by giving a perpendicular to the base of the triangle, the base of the triangle become a/2 and one side is a. so by applying Pythagoras theorem we will get the desired formula.
