The law of tangents can be used to determine another side length; the sine rule can then be used to determine the third side length.
Find the perimeter by adding the lengths of the sides
If you know the lengths of 2 sides and the included angle then use: Area of a triangle = 1/2*a*b*sinC
By using trigonometry
measure with an protacter
I need to know more about the triangle, such as one or 2 of the angles, whether it is isosceles or equilateral, or whether the lengths share a certain ratio. For example, a triangle of sides 8,8 and 5 (perimeter of 21) will surely have a different area as compared to a triangle of sides 7,7 and 7 (perimeter of 21 as well)
The perimeter of a triangle is the distance around it. Add the lengths of the three sides to find the perimeter.

The height of a triangle alone is not enough information to find the perimeter. You need some angle measures or side lengths.
you add up the measures of the sides Perimeter=a+b+cAdd up the three sides together
Surely you know how to find the third side of a right triangle, when you know the lengths of the other two. Find it, and then add up the lengths of the three sides to get the perimeter.

You use the definition of "perimeter". In other words, you add up the lengths of the three sides.
The answer depends on what information you have but, basically, you need to add together the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.
