What formula can be used to find vertical displacement of a projectile?

It is a simple 'difference' formula. Altitude at 'a' altitude at 'b' Take 'a' from 'b' = displacement.


What is the formula for finding altitude and area of equilateral triangle?

The altitude formula is like this: Area x 2 divided by the base ( Ax2:b) The area formula is base x height divided by 2


Formula for unknown altitude of a parallelogram?

Hopefully you've been given the parallelogram's area. If so you can use the following formula: Area of parallelogram = base length x altitude therefore altitude = area of parallelogram (divided by) base length


What is the formula to find the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

It is: c2-b2 = a2 whereas c is the hypotenuse, b is the base and a is the altitude


What is formula of area of triangle?

1)1/2*base*altitude


Does the formula for quarts ever change?

Varies based on altitude and air pressure.


What is the triangular prism volume formula?

The Formula is Base*Height, or 1/2 Height (altitude of the triangle) * Base (of the Triangle) * height (Height of the prism)


What is the formula in getting the height of a rectangle?

lenght times height == If it rests on one of the shortest sides , then the altitude is the length of the longer side. If it rest on one of the longer sides, then the altitude is the length of the shortest side. If it is the special case of a square, then any side is an altitude.


What is the formula for finding the surface area of a hexagon?

Area of triangle = ½ base x altitude. Regular hexagon is 6 equal triangles so Area= 3 x base x altitude


What is the formula for finding the altitude of a triangle?

actually it's a2+b2=c2 the altitude is a or b and can be found by c2/a2*=b2* * a2 and b2 are interchangeable. by the way this only works with right triangles.


What is the altitude of triangle if its base is twice its altitude and its area is 144 cm?

Well, darling, if the base of the triangle is twice the altitude, then we can call the altitude 'x' and the base '2x'. The area of a triangle is calculated by the formula 1/2 * base * height, so in this case, it would be 1/2 * 2x * x = 144 cm². Solve for 'x' and you'll find the altitude of the triangle.


How do you calculate density altitude?

Density altitude is calculated using the following formula: Density Altitude = Pressure Altitude + (120 x (OAT - ISA Temperature)) Where: Pressure altitude is the aircraft's height above the standard pressure level of 29.92 inHg. OAT is the Outside Air Temperature in degrees Celsius. ISA Temperature is the standard temperature for that altitude.
