Question

What is the area of the triangle below?

Answer 1

Answer:

½bh units if height is known or

A = √S(s-a)+(s-b)+(s-c)units if height is not given. This is most definitely the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In the question above, we don't have a dimension but we can solve this directly using it's formula and defining the angle

The triangle above is an isosceles triangle.

Isoscele triangles are triangles that have two of its side equal.

The area of a triangle is given as ½ × breadth × height.

The height can easily be calculated using one of it's slant height and it's breadth. This is done using pythagoras theorem. Which is given by

x² = y² + z²

In this case, the area of this triangle is ½b×h.

However, there are cases where by three sides are given known as a, b and c. We can easily use Heron's formula to find the area

A = √S(s-a)+(s-b)+(s-c)

Where s = (a + b + c) / 2

S = perimeter
