You use trigonometry.
If the triangle is a right triangle, then you can use the Pythagorean theorem (a2 + b2 = c2 where c is the hypotenuse). This requires you to know two of the sides of the triangle.
You can also use the relationship:
sin A = a/c
cos A = b/c
tan A = a/b
where "A" is a non-right angle of a right triangle, "a" is the length of the side opposite of the angle "A", "b" is the length of the side adjacent to the angle "A" and "c" is the length of the hypotenuse.
If the triangle is NOT a right triangle, you can use the law of sines or the law of cosines.
The law of sines:
a /sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C
where "a" is the side opposite of angle "A", "b" is the side opposite of angle "B" and "c" is the side opposite of angle "C".
The law of cosines:
a2 = b2 + c2 - b*c*cos A
b2 = a2 + c2 - a*c*cos B
c2 = a2 + b2 - a*b*cos C
where "c" is the hypotenuse, "a" and "b" are the other sides of the triangle and "C" is the angle opposite of "c", "B" is the angle opposite of "b" and "A" is the angle opposite of "a".
Divide the area by height then you get the base.
You don't need to find it. From what your question states the area is already given to you.
area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height ie times the area by two then divide by the base = height
If you are given the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem.
(b x h)/2
Divide the area by height then you get the base.
You can't. It is impossible.
Divide the area by half the base.
The relation between the height of a triangle, its base and its area is given by: Area = 0.5 * Base * Height Therefore, we have: Height = (2 * Area)/ Base.
You don't need to find it. From what your question states the area is already given to you.
area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height ie times the area by two then divide by the base = height
By using trigonometry or Pythagoras' theorem depending on what type of triangle it is.
If you are given the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem.
(b x h)/2
So, you divide the base by 2. Then, you divide the area by that answer and you'll find the height.
Multiply the area by 2 and then divide the result by its height which will give you the base.
Area = 1/2*Base*Height so Base = 2*Area/Height
