How would you split an isoleces triangle into right ones (wedges)? Geometry and trigonometry are screwing me over here.

What information do you already have? Side lengths, angles, or points?

Visualize a iso triangle, take one of it's bottom points and push it down one unit. Now what do I do?!?

Two articles on the wiki show how but you need the three vertices

| I just thought you meant scalene; at first you meant scalene but now an isosceles. |

Idk what you mean by that, but you can just use the Pythagorean theorem.
If you have sides with lengths 2, 3, 4, then you can set up a system of equations like this, with x being the distance from one of the vertices on the long side: 3^2 = x^2 + h^2 2^2 = (4-x)^2 + h^2 Which, despite having two variables, you can solve by subtracting the two and cancelling the h^2.
