How do you find the area of an equilateral triangle without knowing the height?

You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.


What is the height of the triangle if the area is 108 m2?

Without knowing its base its almost impossible to give a correct answer.


How do you find the perimeter of a isoscles triangle all you know is the base and height?

-- Imagine what you have if you slice the triangle in half along the height ...-- You have a right triangle. One side of it is 1/2 of the base, and one side isthe height.-- The slanting side is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and knowing whatyou know about right triangles, you can calculate its length.-- Once you do that, you have the lengths of all three sides of the original triangle,and you can calculate the perimeter.

How do you find the height of a triangle if you don't know the base or area?

To find the height of a triangle without knowing the base or area, you would typically need additional information, such as the lengths of the sides or angles. If you have the lengths of all three sides, you can use Heron's formula to calculate the area and then derive the height. Alternatively, if you know the angles, you can use trigonometric functions in conjunction with the side lengths to find the height. Without any of this information, it's impossible to determine the height directly.


How do you find the base and height of a triangle if you only have the hypotenuse?

I'm pretty sure that only works if it is an isosceles right triangle. In that case, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the base and height knowing only the hypotenuse. A2 + B2 = C2. A=B= height= base. C= hypotenuse

What is the formula for area for a triangular prism without the height?

It is impossible to find the area of a triangle with no height, if the triangle had no height it would not even be a triangle, just a angle.


How do you find the base of a triangle if your only given the area and height?

the equation for a triangle is 1/2base*height knowing that it's a simple equation solving for a single unknown.
