You can find it by using the Pythagorean theorem if you know the side and the base of triangle. In an isosceles triangle the median is also the altitude. The formula is: (The measure of the side length)^2 - (The measure of the one half of the base length )^2 = (The measure of the altitude)^2. Find the square root of the result that you'll have the measure of the altitude.

How do you find the area of a isoceles triangle?
Multiply half of the length of the base by the height. Just like any other triangle.
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.
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.
How you find the area of a triangle?
To find the area of a triangle, you have to multiply the base of the triangle and the height of the triangle, then divide the product of those numbers by two.
How do you find the surface area of a triangle?
.5*base*height
