How to Calculate the Area of a Triangle with Base and Height?

Triangle Area Calculation 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
