`h = (2*A)/b`

Enter a value for all fields

The Height of a Triangle (h = 2A/b) calculator computes the height(h) of a triangle based on the Area (A) and the base (b).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units, and enter the following:

• (A) area of the triangle
• (b) length of the base of the triangle

Triangle Height (h): The calculator returns the height (h) of the triangle in meters.  However this can be automatically converted to other length units (e.g. inches) via the pull-down menu. 

The Math / Science

The formula for the height of a triangle is:

       h = 2A / b

where

• h is the height of the triangle
• A is the area of the triangle
• b is the length of the base of the triangle.

This equations  is useful in a wide range of areas from school math to calculating the surface area of any triangle in any industry or hobby.

Triangle Calculators

• Area of a triangle base on the base and height

• Area of a triangle using two angles and the interior side.
• Area of a triangle using three known sides.
• Area of a triangle defined by three points (x,y) in a plane.
• Height of a triangle based on the area and base
• Interior Angle of a triangle based on the length of three sides
• Semi-perimeter of a triangle
• Area between two vectors
