Question 264830: How do i find the base and corresponding height of a triangle?

first off you need more information about the triangle to figure out the base or height.
for example: a triangle with an area given like 36 and say the base is double its height. then using the triangle area formula
then a=36 b=2h solve for h

height equals 6
b=2h

base equals 12
