Question 451736: How do you find the area of a triangle when the problem only gives you the length of the shorter side? In this case they gave me the number 9 as the length of the shorter side. Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! With just one side length you cannot find the area of the triangle. Did you make sure you have all the information on that triangle (e.g. you have no known angles or sides that can be solved for)?
