there is this so called heron theory where you can get the area of any triangle if you know the values of the three sides (you do not need to know the heigth) i do no know if this is true but this can be found by searching the web for the 'heron theorem' good luck

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.
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.
How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base and adjacent angle?
Height will be h=base*tan(angle).
What is the area of a triangle with sides 8m and 9m and base 6m?
Is the height 9m or 8m? Area of triangle = Base x Height / 2 If the height is 9m... The area is 37m squared If the height is 8m... The area is 24m squared.
How do you find height of isosceles triangle if you only know the length of equal sides and the base?
i can
How do i find the base of a triangle given 2 sides and the height?
By using trigonometry or Pythagoras' theorem depending on what type of triangle it is.
Area of the triangle when it's co-ordinates of points joining the sides of the triangle are given?
1/2 base x height
How do you find the area of a right angle triangle with all sides given?
(base x height) / 2
What are the sides of a triangle that's has height of 7 and base of 4?
The height and base are not sufficient to uniquely identify the sides of a triangle - there are an infinite number of possibilities.
If you have the sides of a triangle how do you get the area?
Half The Base, Times The Height Of The Triangle.
What is The sum of any 2 sides of an isosceles triangle?
Depends from the given information. For example, if it is given the measure of the angle base θ, and the length of the base b, the sum of the sides a of the isosceles triangle equals to 2a = b/cos θ If it is given the measure of the angle base θ, and the length of the height h, the sum of the sides a of the isosceles triangle equals to 2a = 2h/sin θ If it is given the measure of the vertex angle θ, and the length of the base b, the sum of the sides a of the isosceles triangle equals to 2a = b/sin θ/2 If it is given the measure of the vertex angle θ, and the length of the height h, the sum of the sides a of the isosceles triangle equals to 2a = 2h/cos θ/2 If it is given the length measures of the base b and the height h, the sum of the sides a of the isosceles triangle equals to 2a = √(h4 + b2) (from the Pythagorean theorem)
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.
How do you find the base of a triangle if the height and area are given?
Divide the area by height then you get the base.
What is the base of a triangle that has an area of 84 ft?
That will depend on the height of the triangle which has not been given. Base = (84*2)/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 right triangle that has sides measuring 10 cm15cm and 18cm?
The given dimensions would not form a right angle triangle but in general the are of a triangle is 0.5*base*perpendicular height
How do you find the height of a triangle given the area and base?
area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height ie times the area by two then divide by the base = height
