In geometry, the height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance from the vertex to the base, or the length of the altitude drawn from the vertex to the base. It is often denoted by the letter ‘h’. The height of a triangle is used to calculate its area and volume.
The height of a triangle can be calculated using a variety of methods, depending on the information that is known about the triangle. If the base and area of the triangle are known, the height can be calculated using the formula: height = 2 * area / base.
