YES!!!
When calculating the area of a triangle the equation is
A = (1/2)bh
That is the base(b) is multiplied to the perpendicular height(h), and then multiplied by '1/2' or '0.5'.

What is the formula to calculate the area of a triangle?
Area = 1/2*base*perpendicular height
When you use a formula to calculate the area of a triangle does it matter which base - height pair you use.?
The side you use as the base does not matter. What does matter is that the height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the other vertex. If there is a right angle in the triangle, then use the two sides next to it as the base and height. Otherwise a bit of trigonometry will be required to work out the height of the triangle if it is not given.
What is the area of a 3 by 4 by 5 cm triangle?
The answer is 6. The formula is 1/2 of base times perpendicular height. In the case of a 3:4:5 triangle, there is a right angle between the two shorter sides so they are inherently perpendicluar to each other. So you can either say the base is 3 and the perpendicular height is 4 or the base is 4 and the perpendicular is 3 - either way 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6. Brian DOWNIE The answer is 6.

Where is the altitude of a right triangle?
'altitude' or perpendicular. If on line is the base (horizontal) line, then the line that is a 90 degrees to it is the perpendicular/altitude.

Which statement best describes the area of the triangle?
The squared area of a triangle is half of its base times its perpendicular height. Or as: 0.5*base*perpendicular height = area of a triangle
How is the formula for the area of a triangle related to the formula for an area of a parallelogram?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
Define base of a triangle?
any side of the triangle that is perpendicular to the height.
How do you calculate the square meters of a triangle?
The area of a triangle is base x height / 2. Height should be perpendicular to base.
How do you find the base and height of an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has 2 equal base angles and its height is perpendicular from its apex to the centre of its base
Formua for area of a triangle?
Area of a triangle: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
How do you determine the height of an equilateral triangle?
It is the height of the perpendicular line from its vertex to its base
What is a triangle with height called?
All triangles have a height because the area of any triangle is 0.5*base*perpendicular height
Area of isosceles triangle?
Area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
How do you find th area of triangle?
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height
What is the formula for finding the are of a triangle?
half x base x perpendicular heightThe height is called the perpendicular height because it is at a right-angle to the base.
