You can't! If the base is the only side you know, you'll need two angles to define the triangle entirely
YOu divide the Base by half, and then DIvide the area by half of the base to get the height.
If you only have the triangle's area, then you only know the product of (base times height) ... it's double the area ... but you can't tell what either of those individual lengths is.
Simple. Just multiply the base by the height of the triangle, and divide it into two. This works for all types of triangles.
Multiply the area by 2 and divide by the base
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.
base = (2*area)/height
you divide them

So, you divide the base by 2. Then, you divide the area by that answer and you'll find the height.

No. I can only find the height in terms of the base (and area) of the triangle, or the base in terms of the height (and area) of the triangle. Specifically, since: area = 1/2 x base x height ⇒ 22 = 1/2 x base x height ⇒ 44 = base x height I can rearrange that to: height = 44 ÷ base or base = 44 ÷ height For example, the triangle could have a base of 11 units and a height of 4 units; alternatively, the triangle could have a base of 10 units and a height of 4.4 units; or, the triangle could have a height of 2 units and a base of 22 units; etc.
Use trigonometry depending on what type of triangle it is.
area = 1/2 base * perpendicular height you can't find both the base and the height if you only know the area
You have to use trig. If the base angle is a and base b, the height is b tan(a).
