The Triangle Area Formula
This calculator uses the most common formula for a triangle's area. The base can be any side of the triangle, and the height is the perpendicular distance from that base to the opposite corner (vertex).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula for the area of a triangle?
The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying half of its base by its height (Area = 0.5 × Base × Height).
Does this work for all types of triangles?
Yes, this formula works for any triangle (right, isosceles, equilateral, scalene), as long as you know the length of one side (the base) and the perpendicular height from that base to the opposite vertex.
