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 formula to finding an area to a right triangle?
The area of any triangle is1/2 of (the length of the triangle's base) times (the triangle's height).
What is the formula for finding a missing side on a congruent triangle?
It is the same length as the corresponding side on the other triangle.
How do you find the perpendicular height of a isoceles triangle?
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.
What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a triangle?
you add the sides together . a /\b a+b+c /_\ c
The lenght of one side of an equilateral triangle is 10 cm find the altitude of the triangle?
The triangle's altitude is 8.7 (8.66025) cm.
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
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 formula of area of triangle?
1)1/2*base*altitude
What is the formula of finding the perimeter of triangle?
the formula is 1side multiply by 3
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 for finding the height of a triangle?
using a protractor
What is the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle?
The altitude of an equilateral triangle is (√3)/2*a. where 'a' is the side of the triangle. It can be just find by giving a perpendicular to the base of the triangle, the base of the triangle become a/2 and one side is a. so by applying Pythagoras theorem we will get the desired formula.
How would you find the area of a triangle given 2 sides and a NON-included angle?
Presumably with great difficulty but in general the formula for finding the area of a triangle is given as: 1/2*base*perpendicular height or altitude = area in square units
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
Formula finding the base of an equalaterial triangle?
Based on what data?
Formula for finding the hypotenuse of a triangle?
The formula of the hypotenuse (the longest side of the triangle) is the other two lengths squared and added together.
What is the formula to finding an area to a right triangle?
The area of any triangle is1/2 of (the length of the triangle's base) times (the triangle's height).
