See if you have a side or an angle.
If the perpendicular comes to a side, and you have the measure of the side's length, you can get the area.
A perpendicular with no side lengths and no angle measurements is insufficient to get a triangle's area. It could be anything. If there is a side and an angle, the Law of Cosines may apply. If there is a base, you can obtain the area directly.
The perpendicular forms a right angle with a side. Having that, there may be a use for the Pythagorean theorem, but again, you need side lengths with a scalene triangle, or you need angle sizes.
