how do I find the area of a triangle

Hello Anonymous,

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{g}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{h}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}$$

Look here:

$${\frac{{\mathtt{B}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{H}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}$$

=

$${\frac{{\mathtt{Base}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{Height}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}$$

Right triangle:   A = a*b/2

Equilateral triangle:     A = 

Isosceles triangle:         $${\mathtt{A}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{ah}}$$

For all the other triangles, you basically have to find a height and multiply it by one of the sides of a triangle.

In this case, the height(h) is multiplied by the side (b) and their product divided by 2.

A = b*h/2

B/2*H

B=Base

H=Height
