Area of a triangle is .5 * b * h, where b is the length of the base and h is the length of the height. Here, the base from which we are measuring the height is 9 meters. So setup the problem:

36 m2 = .5 * 9 m * h

Solving for h yields 8 meters.

If a square and a triangle have an area of sixty four square centimeters if the length of the triangle is the same as the length of a side of the square what is the height of the triangle?

You do not indicate if the given area is the total area of the square and the triangle. Or whether they are equal values.


The altitude of a triangle is 5 inches less than its base. the area of the triangle is 42 square inches . find its base and altitude?

The dimensions are: altitude 12 inches and base 7 inches Check: 0.5*12*7 = 42 square inches


If the area of a square is 49 square meters what is the length of one side?

The length of each side is seven (7) meters.


What is the length of a diagonal of a square that is 6 meters long on a side?

The diagonal across a square is one of three legs in a triangle. To determine the length of a leg in a triangle a formula was developed by the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. The "Pythagorean Theorum" [A sq + B sq = C sq]using the two known legs to a triangle [A and B] to determine the third. since the leg [C]. Since we are determining the diagonal across a square we already that [A=6 meters] and [B=6 meters]. So therefore the equation 6 squared [36] + 6 squared [36] = 8.484 squared [72]. So the answer to the diagonal distance across a 6 meter square is; 8.484 meters


If the area of a square is 2.89 square meters what is the length of each of its sides?

Well, darling, to find the length of each side of the square, you simply take the square root of the area. So in this case, the square root of 2.89 square meters is approximately 1.7 meters. So each side of the square would be 1.7 meters in length. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar!

How do you find the height of an equalateral triangle?

To find the altitude or height of an equilateral triangle, take one-half of the length of a side of the triangle and multiple by "square root" of 3. So, if for example, the side has length 10, the height = 5 Square root of 3.


How do you find the perpendicular height of a isoceles triangle?

You can find it by using the Pythagorean theorem if you know the side and the base of triangle. In an isosceles triangle the median is also the altitude. The formula is: (The measure of the side length)^2 - (The measure of the one half of the base length )^2 = (The measure of the altitude)^2. Find the square root of the result that you'll have the measure of the altitude.
