How to Calculate the Area of a Triangle with Base and Height?
Area of the triangle can be found by multiplying the half of base length
with the vertical height. In a triangle, base and height is
perpendicular to each other.
Here is the simple step by step tutorial to find area of a triangle.
Formula:
Area of a Triangle = 1/2 x b x h
Step 1: Let us assume an example to calculate the area of the triangle.
Consider a triangle, with the
Vertical height = 8 m
Base = 6 m
Step 2: Substitute the values in the formula,
Area of a Triangle = 1/2 x b x h
=1/2 x 6 x 8
= 1/2 x 48
= 48 / 2 = 24 m2
Area of a triangle = 24 m2
