How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base?

If you're only given the base, then you can't calculate the other leg.
If you have any one of the following, then you can calculate all of the
parts of the triangle:
-- length of the other leg
-- length of the hypotenuse
-- size of either acute angle

How do you calculate the base of a right triangle given the height and angle?

How do you calculate the height of a non right triangle?
The answer depends on what information you do have about it.
How do you calculate the height of a non-right triangle?
To locate the height of a non-right triangle, you may need to extend the base of a triangle. Then pick one corner and draw a line perpendicular to the extended base. This line you just drew is the height. Finding this height will depend on what triangle dimensions you are given, so the answer will vary. Note: the extended part does not count as the actual base. It is only used to help you find the height of a triangle.
What is the area of a right triangle that is Cm high and has a base that is 7cm long?
The height has not been given but the area of the triangle is: 0.5*height*base
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 calculate the height of right triangle given the base and adjacent angle?
Height will be h=base*tan(angle).
How do you calculate the height of a non right triangle?
The answer depends on what information you do have about it.
How do you calculate the base of the right triangle given the height and the opposite angle?
By using the tangent ratio of: opposite/tangent angle = adjacent which is the base

When you use a formula to calculate the area of a triangle does it matter which base - height pair you use.?
The side you use as the base does not matter. What does matter is that the height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the other vertex. If there is a right angle in the triangle, then use the two sides next to it as the base and height. Otherwise a bit of trigonometry will be required to work out the height of the triangle if it is not given.
How do you calculate height of triangle if base is 2 and hypotenuse is 3?
Since the triangle has a hypotenuse, it must be a right triangle. Therefore, the Pythagorean theorem applies, and the height of the triangle must be sq rt (32 - 22).
How do you calculate square meter of right triangle?
Are you talking about area? Base x Height / 2
What is slant height of triangle if height is 1200 and the slant height angle is 60 degree given?
I could solve this if I knew what kind of triangle this was. Equilateral, Right: 30, 60, 90?
How do you find the height of a triangle given the hypotenuse?
Providing it's a right angle triangle the formula is: hypotenuse2-base2 = height2
