You can find the height of a parallelogram given the area and base measures by working backwards from the area formula.
The area of a parallelogram is found with the formula:
Area = Base * Height
To solve this equation for Height, we divide both sides by the base.
Area / Base = (Base * Height) / Base
Simplify:
Area / Base = Height

Area = Base * Height so Base = Area/Height
You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.
To find the height of a triangle, you can use the formula: height = (2 * area) / base. The base of the triangle is one side of the triangle to which the height is perpendicular. The area can be calculated using different methods depending on the information available, such as using the lengths of the sides and Heron's formula or using the base and the height.
Area = 0.5*Base*Height
Of a square? (area/height=base) Of a triangle? ({area/height}/2=base) Or of some other shape?
