How To Find Height Of A Triangle?

Use the formula for area: Height = (2 × Area) ÷ Base

If you know the area and base, substitute the values into the formula

If the triangle is right-angled, the two perpendicular sides are the height and base

If you know two sides and the included angle, use trigonometry: Height = Side × sin(angle)

If you know all three sides, first find the area using Heron’s formula, then use Height = (2 × Area) ÷ Base

If the triangle is isosceles, split it into two right triangles and use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height

If the triangle is equilateral, use Height = (√3 ÷ 2) × side length
