I'm not sure what you are asking, so I may not be answering your question, but I'll try to the best of my ability.
This is only for RIGHT TRIANGLES
- Given a right triangle and the angle measurements besides the 90 degree angle of the right angle are 30 and 60 degrees (the combined angle measurements of a triangle always equal 180 degrees), the base is x, the height is xsqrt3, and the hypotenuse (or the longest side opposite the height) is 2x. This shortcut only works for right triangles with the other angle measurements 30 and 60 degrees.
- For example, you are given a triangle with the base=2 units. Using the shortcut, the height=2sqrt3 units. Then the hypotenuse=4 units.
- Given a right triangle and the angle measurements besides the 90 degree angle of the right angle are 45 and 45 degrees, the base is x, the height is also x, and the hypotenuse is xsqrt2. This shortcut only works for right triangles with both the other angle measurements equal to 45 degrees.
- For example, you are given a triangle with the base=2 units. The height is also 2 units. And finally, the hypotenuse=2sqrt2 units.
*Another way to find the other side beside the shortcut is by using the Pythagorean Theorum (a2+b2=c2) if you are given the other two side measurements.*

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.
What is the area of a triangle that has a base of 3.2cm and a height of 1.3 cm?
2.08cm. To find the area of any triangle - divide the length of the base by 2, then multiply the result by the height.
The base of a triangle is 7cm greater than the height The area is 60 cm2 Find the height and length of the base?
Base = 8, Height = 15
How can you find the length of the 2 sides of an isosceles triangle when you know the base and the height?
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
How do you find the area of an isosceles triangle with a base of length 10 cm and congruent sides of length 13 cm?
Use Pythagoras to find the perpendicular height of the triangle: 132-52 = 144 and the square root of this is the height of the triangle which is 12 cm Area = 1/2*12*10 = 60 square cm
How can you find the are of a triangle in a fraction?
Are of a triangle is (length of the base) times (height)/2 .
If you know the length and height how do you find the length of one of the sides of a triangle?
By measuring it
How do you find the length of the base with no area and no height?
The measurement of the angle of the triangle...supposing it is a triangle.
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 height of a triangle if you know the length of 2 sides?
You cannot calculate the height of a triangle from just the length of two sides. You would either have to measure it or obtain additional information about the triangle.
How can you find the base of a right triangle when you have the height and hypotenuse?
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.
How do you find out how many square meters are in a triangle?
The area of the triangle in square meters is (1/2 the length of the triangle's base, in meters) times (the length of the triangle's height, in meters).
How do you find the altitude of a triangle?
altitude(height)=(Area * 2) /length(Base)
How do you find the area of an acute triangle?
The area of any triangle is (1/2 the length of its base) x (its height).
Find the area of a triangle with a base of 5ft and height of 6ft and 3ft?
The triangle only has one height, not two. The height is NOT the length of the other two sides, besides the one it's sitting on. The height is exactly that: the height. It's how high the ceiling has to be if you want to stand that triangle up in a room. In general, the height is LESS than the length of either side that the triangle is not sitting on.
What is the length of the height of a triangle?
It varies depending on the triangle.
How do you find height of isosceles triangle if you only know the length of equal sides and the base?
