How do you calculate the height of a non-right triangle?
To locate the height of a non-right triangle, you may need to extend the base of a triangle. Then pick one corner and draw a line perpendicular to the extended base. This line you just drew is the height. Finding this height will depend on what triangle dimensions you are given, so the will vary. Note: the extended part does not count as the actual base. It is only used to help you find the height of a triangle.
