How To Calculate The Height Of A Triangle?

Use the area formula: (A = frac{1}{2}bh)

Rearrange to solve for height: (h = frac{2A}{b})

Identify the base (b)

Find the area (A)

Substitute the values into (h = frac{2A}{b})

Calculate the result

If the triangle is right-angled, use the perpendicular side as the height

If the triangle is isosceles or equilateral, draw a perpendicular from the top vertex to the base and use that segment as the height
