If you know the length of the sides, you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the height. Use half the base for one of the shorter sides, and either of the two identical sides of the triangle for the hypothenuse. Solve for the other one of the shorter sides (the height).

Is an acute triangle sometimes an isosceles?
An acute triangle can be an isosceles triangle, but it doesn't have to be. An isosceles triangle can be an acute triangle, but it doesn't have to be.
What is the vertical height of a triangle with an area of 48cm2 and a base length of 6cm?
assuming its an isosceles triangle, then its 16 cm high
What does a right triangle and an isosceles triangle have in common?
A right triangle and an isosceles triangle have the fact that they are both triangles in common. A right triangle can also be an isosceles triangle.
How do you draw an isosceles scalene triangle?
You cannot. An isosceles triangle cannot be scalene and a scalene triangle cannot be isosceles. So an isosceles scalene triangle cannot exist.
Is a scalene triangle an isosceles triangle?
yes a scalene triangle is a isosceles triangle.* * * * *No. A scalene triangle is not an isosceles triangle. The sides of a scalene triangle must all be of different lengths. In an isosceles triangle two of the sides must be the same length. If all three sides are different (scalene) then two cannot be the same (isosceles).
When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?
Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height
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
What is the circumradius of an isosceles triangle?
To find the circumradius of an isosceles triangle, the formula is:1/8[(a^2/h)+4h]in which h is the height of the triangle and a is the base of the triangle.
The triangle at the right is an isosceles triangle. if?
legs Base and height are equal in langth
If weRotation of a right angled triangle about its height what shape we will get?
An isosceles, possibly equilateral, triangle
Area of isosceles triangle?
Area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and the perimeter is 39 what is the length of a leg?
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and its perimeter is 39, then it has a height of 12.87.
What is the area of an isosceles triangle that has a base of 5cm and a height of 7 cm.?
Area of isosceles triangle: 0.5*5*7 = 17.5 square cm
What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
What is the area of an isosceles triangle where base is 1.1 cm and height is 1.5 cm?
Area = 1/2*base*height = 0.825 sq cm. The fact that the triangle is isosceles is irrelevant: it makes no difference to its area.
How do you work out the base of an isosceles triangle?
Using trigonometry. The Hypotenuse x The height
Is an acute triangle sometimes an isosceles?
An acute triangle can be an isosceles triangle, but it doesn't have to be. An isosceles triangle can be an acute triangle, but it doesn't have to be.
