* If any of the shorter sides of an obtuse triangle is chosen to be the base, an extension need to be drawn to this base so that a perpendicular can be constructed from the apex down to this base extension.
There are three sides to a triangle, hence three possible bases. Each base will have a corresponding height that is measured from the opposite vertex or apex+.
A vertex is the point when 2 sides of a figure intersect.
(Read more: vertex)
+ A triangle has 3 vertices. 2 vertices defines the length of the base. There remains one vertex that is not touching the base. This vertex is opposite to the base (or base extension) and it is referred to as the apex.

The area of a triangle is 45cm2 the base of the triangle is 6cm what is the height of the triangle?
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x altitude(height)On putting given values, we get45cm2 = 1/2 x 6cm x height(altitude)cm45 = 3 x altitudealtitude = 15 cmAnswer to the question is 15cm.
What is the height of a triangle with a base of 15ft and area of 60ft squares?
Its height is: 8 feet
If the side of equilateral triangle is a then what is its height?
root3a divided by 2
What is the height of the triangle if the area is 35m2?
Easy! It's 5.
If the area of a triangle is 576 and its height is 12cm what is the base?
this is 5cm (:
When calculating area what are the similarities between triangles and parallelogram?
Parallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*HeightParallelogram = Base*Height Triangle = 0.5*Base*Height
The base of a triangle is 8 cm. the triangle has a area of 28cm2 the height of the triangle is cm?
Area of Triangle = 1/2 base x height 28 = 4 x height height = 7 cms
What can be said about the base and height of a triangle?
That the area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height
What is another word for the height of a triangle?
Altitude is another word for a height of a triangle.
The height of a triangle is three feet longer than the base The area of the triangle is 35 square feet Find the height andbase of the triangle?
the height of a triangle is three feet longer than the base. The area of the triangle is 35 square feet. Find the height andbase of the triangle
The base of a triangle is 12 cm the triangle has an area of 48cm squared what is the height of the triangle?
Height = 8 cm
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 get the height of a triangle?
To find the height of a triangle you measure it. It has to be from the middle of the base to the top point.
When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?
Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height
How do you find the area and perimiter of a triangle?
To find the area of a triangle find the base and the height of the triangle. Then multiply the base by the height, then divide by 2. To find the perimiter of a triangle add together the outside edge of the triangle. To find the area of a triangle find the base and the height of the triangle. Then multiply the base by the height, then divide by 2. To find the perimiter of a triangle add together the outside edge of the triangle.
How do you get the base of a triangle when you have the height and area?
Area of a triangle = base * height / 2 Therefore the base = Area * 2 / height
What is a triangle with height called?
All triangles have a height because the area of any triangle is 0.5*base*perpendicular height
