Altitude Theorem Calculator

How to Use the Altitude Theorem Calculator

The Altitude Theorem Calculator helps you calculate the altitude of a triangle when you know the base and the area. Follow these steps to use the calculator:

1. Enter the base of the triangle in the "Base (b)" field.
2. Enter the area of the triangle in the "Area (A)" field.
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the altitude.
4. The calculated altitude will be displayed in the "Altitude (h)" field.

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the altitude:

h = 2A / b

Where:

• h is the altitude of the triangle.
• A is the area of the triangle.
• b is the base of the triangle.

Example

If a triangle has a base of 10 units and an area of 25 square units, the altitude can be calculated as follows:

h = 2 * 25 / 10 = 5 units
