Finding the Area of a Triangle

Hi Friends!!!

Let us try Finding the Area of a Triangle.

A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry with three-sided shape, which lies in one plane. The sum of all the angles in any triangle will be 180º. Simply it is defined as a polygon with three sides and three angles. Every triangle has three vertices, a base, and an altitude


Area of the triangle is equal to half of the product of base and its height.

formula for area of a triangle A= ½ *base*height



calculate area of a triangle with a base of 4cm and height of 6cm?

Area of the triangle(A) = ½ b*h

=1/2 *4 *6

=1/2 *24

Area =12cm2

I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
