First find the area through the use of Heron's formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember, the area of any triangle is \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%281%2F2%29bh\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2A=bh\" Multiply both sides by 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2A%2Fb=h\" Divide both sides by \"b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the height is \"h=2A%2Fb\". So simply plug in the given base (there are three possible heights) and the area that you found from the previous formula to find the height that you want.
