Triangle Height Calculator

Height to side a from area, or from two sides and the included angle (SAS).

Height to a

This free Triangle Height Calculator covers Height to side a from area, or from two sides and the included angle (SAS).

h_a = 2A/a. If area is 0, A = (1/2)bc sin α. Other geometry tools are linked below.
