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.

How do you calculate height of triangle?
Messure it,
How do you calculate the square meters of a triangle?
The area of a triangle is base x height / 2. Height should be perpendicular to base.
How do you calculate the height of a non right triangle?
The answer depends on what information you do have about it.
How do you calculate the height of a triangle when all you have is the area?
You cannot. There is not enough information.
How do you calculate height of triangle if base is 2 and hypotenuse is 3?
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).
