Define base of a triangle?
any side of the triangle that is perpendicular to the height.
Can the side opposite of the vertex of a triangle could be the base of a triangle?
Yes, though generally speaking the bottom, horizontal side (if any) of a triangle is called its base.
How do you know what the base of a triangle is?
the base of a triange would be different depending per triangle. an equilateral can be any side, an isosceles would be the side that is different and a scalene would be the longest.
Formulae for area of circle triangle parallelogram and rectangle?
Area circle: π × radius² Area triangle: ½ × base × height Area Parallelogram: base × height Area: Rectangle: length × width In a triangle, the base is any side between two vertices and the height is the perpendicular distance from this side to the third vertex. In a parallelogram the base is any side. The height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the side parallel to it.
When can you use two side lengths to find the area of a triangle?
The area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height

Is the base of a right triangle the largest of the three sides?
The "base" of any triangle is whatever side it happens to be sitting on in the drawing in which it's presented, and that could be any one of its three sides. In a right triangle, the longest side is the "hypotenuse", which is the side opposite the right angle. That's true whether or not the triangle happens to be drawn with the hypotenuse on the bottom.
How do you know which measurements are the base and the height of a triangle?
It does not matter. Any side can be the base. Then, the height is the perpendicular distance between that side and the opposite vertex.
When can you use two side lengths to find the area of a triangle?
The area of any triangle is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
Is a base of a triangle a side?
Yes, a triangle has 3 sides, and the base is one of those.
What side that is the bottom of triangle?
Its base.
How do you find volume and area of a triangle?
A triangle has no volume - it is a 2-dimensional shape only. To find the area, multiply the base times the height, then divide by 2. The base is any side of the triangle; the height must be measured perpendicular to the base.
What can use any side as the altitude and base of a triangle?
A mathematician.A mathematician.A mathematician.A mathematician.
Which is the base of an isosceles triangle?
Two sides of an isosceles triangle are equal. The base is the other side.
