Question

How do you figure out the area of a triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of Triangle = $\frac{1}{2} (Base)(Height)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be found out by the following formula:

Area of Triangle = $\frac{1}{2} (Base)(Height)$

Answer 2

General formula for area of triangle is $A=\frac{h_bb}{2}$.

Where:

• $h_b$ is height of triangle perpendicular to base side of triangle.
• $b$ is the length of base side of triangle.

Multiplying $h_b$ and $b$ results in rectangle, dividing that by 2 gives you area of a triangle.

Hope this helps.
