Find the altitude of a triangle when you know its area and base.
Last updated: June 2026 | By Patchworkr Team
If the area is 24 and the base is 8, then the height is 2 x 24 / 8 = 6.
This is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.
The base must be non-zero, otherwise the height is undefined.
