How do calculate the height of a right triangle if I know the hypotenuse and the base?


Rate This Answer

Draw the triangle and label the sides and known values. [A, B and C are the angles. a, b and c are the sides, c being the base. h is the height. In this example, A = 60 degrees and b = 5.] Write down the area formula, A = 1/2 bh (A = area, b = base, h = height). All values do not need to be known, but the formula helps keep everything oriented correctly.
