What is altitude of an isosceles triangle and how it is calculated ?

An altitude of a triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to (i.e., forming a right angle with) a line containing the base (the side opposite the vertex). Its formula is h = √(a² − b²/4) where h is the altitude of isosceles triangle and a & b are the sides of the isosceles triangle.

How to Calculate Altitude of an isosceles triangle?

Altitude of an isosceles triangle calculator uses Height=sqrt((Side A)^2+((Side B)^2/4)) to calculate the Height, Altitude of an isosceles triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base. Height and is denoted by h symbol.

FAQ

What is Altitude of an isosceles triangle?

Altitude of an isosceles triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base and is represented as h=sqrt((a)^2+((b)^2/4)) or Height=sqrt((Side A)^2+((Side B)^2/4)). Side A is an upright or sloping surface of a structure or object that is not the top or bottom and generally not the front or back and Side B is an upright or sloping surface of a structure or object that is not the top or bottom and generally not the front or back.

How to calculate Altitude of an isosceles triangle?

Altitude of an isosceles triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base is calculated using Height=sqrt((Side A)^2+((Side B)^2/4)). To calculate Altitude of an isosceles triangle, you need Side A (a) and Side B (b). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Side A and Side B and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
