Question

what is the height in the area of a triangle​

Answer 1

Not technically, but sometimes you may have to find the height using the Pythagorean Theorem, so if you have the hypotenuse and the base of a right triangle, the height, h = √(c^2 - b^2), so the area of the triangle could be found by A = 1/2 b √(c^2 - b^2), but it is the same principle as A = 1/2 b h.

Answer 2

Not technically, but sometimes you may have to find the height using the Pythagorean Theorem, so if you have the hypotenuse and the base of a right triangle, the height, h = √(c^2 - b^2), so the area of the triangle could be found by A = 1/2 b √(c^2 - b^2), but it is the same principle as A = 1/2 b h...
