how do you find the height of a triangle when all you have is the base, length and area?
area = (1/2) * base * height
For example....if we know that base = 5 and area = 10 sq units, then
10 = (1/2) * 5 * height
10 = 5/2 * height
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2/5 .
10 * 2/5 = height
4 = height
10 = (1/2) * 5 * height
10 = 5/2 * height
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2/5.
10 * 2/5 = height
4 = height
