Question

What is the area of a triangle, in square meters, whose base is meters and whose height is half its base, in terms of ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Remember, double the area and then divide by the known side length. To calculate the area of a triangle, we multiply the base times the height and divide by 2. If you are given the area, follow the steps backwards. You will multiply by 2 and divide by the given length.

For instance, there's the basic formula that the area of a triangle is half the base times the height. This formula only works, of course, when you know what the height of the triangle is. ... That is to say, the area of a triangle is half the product of two sides times the sine of the included angle.
