That means that the height should be measured perpendicular to some other line (or plane in some cases). For example, to calculate the area of a triangle, the formula is (1/2) x base x height, where the height must be measured perpendicular to the base.

What is the area of a triangle with base 5 and height 3?
Area = 1/2 base * perpendicular height so 1/2*21*9 =94.5 square units
Height of triangle?
The height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance measured from the chosen base (or base extension*) to its opposite vertex (or apex)+.* 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.
What are the similarities between angle bisector and perpendicular bisector?
Similarities between angle bisector and perpendicular bisector: Perpendicular bisector bisects a line segment into two equal parts at 90°. Angle bisector bisects an creating two congruent angles they both bisect into equal parts! =)
Algorithm that prompts a user to entre his or her height and store the user input in a variable height?
int height; print("Enter height"); height=getString();
Do fathers height matter in child's height?
sometimes only and sometimes mother's height also . it doesn't matter only father
What is the definition of perpendicular height?
Height from top to bottom.
What is a perpendicular height?
The perpendicular height extends from the vertex opposite the base to meet the base at a 90 degree angle.
What isThe area of a triangle 4 by 7?
The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.The area of a triangle is (1/2) base times height; the height must be perpendicular to the base.
Why is it called perpendicular height?
Because we measure the height as the length of a perpendicular line from the base.
How is the formula for the area of trapezoid related to the formula for the area of a parallelogram?
They both use perpendicular height and are in square units. Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
What is the area of a parallelogram with base 18cm and perpendicular height 18cm?
The area of a parallelogram with base 18cm and perpendicular height 18cm is 324 cm2
What is altitude for rhombus?
It is its vertical perpendicular height
Calculate the square meters of area for a parallelogram 4.65M long having a perpendicular height of 1.5M?
The area of a parallelogram is base x perpendicular height, so you just multiply both numbers.The area of a parallelogram is base x perpendicular height, so you just multiply both numbers.The area of a parallelogram is base x perpendicular height, so you just multiply both numbers.The area of a parallelogram is base x perpendicular height, so you just multiply both numbers.
What is the formula for finding the are of a triangle?
half x base x perpendicular heightThe height is called the perpendicular height because it is at a right-angle to the base.
How do you determine the height of an equilateral triangle?
It is the height of the perpendicular line from its vertex to its base
How do you get the area of a parallelogram that has two different height measurements?
The area of a parallelogram is the base times the height; the height must be measured perpendicular to the base. If you correctly measure the height perpendicular to the base and you get different measurements, then you are NOT dealing with a parallelogram.
How do you find the perpendicular height of a square based pyramid?
To find the perpendicular height of a square pyramid, first compute for the volume of the pyramid. Then divide the volume by the area of the base to find pyramid's height.
