To locate the height of a non-right triangle, you may need to extend the base of a triangle. Then pick one corner and draw a line perpendicular to the extended base. This line you just drew is the height. Finding this height will depend on what triangle dimensions you are given, so the answer will vary. Note: the extended part does not count as the actual base. It is only used to help you find the height of a triangle.

The area of a triangle is base x height / 2. Height should be perpendicular to base.
The answer depends on what information you do have about it.
You cannot. There is not enough information.
Since the triangle has a hypotenuse, it must be a right triangle. Therefore, the Pythagorean theorem applies, and the height of the triangle must be sq rt (32 - 22).

The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. To understand this, think of a rectangle or a square. To calculate the area of this object you would use length * width (which is the same as base * height). If you cut this object in half, you get a triangle. So that area of any triangle is 1/2 * base * height. I cannot answer your question because you are missing the triangle's height but you should be able to use the formula above to calculate the answer on your own.

half base multiply height. 1/2BasexHeight
Area of any triangle: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
Since the triangle has a hypotenuse, it must be a right triangle. Therefore, the Pythagorean theorem applies, and the height of the triangle must be sq rt (32 - 22).
Area of a triangle = 0.5 times base times perpendicular height
You cannot calculate the height of a triangle from just the length of two sides. You would either have to measure it or obtain additional information about the triangle.
You will use what you know about the triangle, including the size of sides or angles of that specific triangle, plus properties of any special category of triangles of which it is a member, to calculate the unknown height.
