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
