Thread: Working out height of a isosceles triangle

How can you do this if you are only given the area? Is it possible?

You can't. No.

(Post the entire question, exactly as it is written).

I was just thinking about it so it's not exactly a question.

I thought there would be a way because when I discovered this forums I found out about all these different types of "harder" maths. I thought to myself.. "anything is possible with maths".

ok well. This thread can be closed or whatever

Your question is a bit like:
the product of 2 numbers is 100; what are the 2 numbers?
1,100
2,50
4,25
5,20
10,10

Well it's not really like that when the area becomes an irrational number....
