How to Calculate the Area of a Triangle

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

A triangle’s area can be found via the formula A = (1/2) × base × height. For instance, if the base is 10 cm and the height is 6 cm, the area is 1/2 × 10 × 6 = 30 cm². In more advanced contexts, Heron’s formula calculates area using side lengths: A = √[s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)], where s = (a + b + c)/2 is the semi-perimeter. Triangular area computations show up in land surveys, building designs, and everyday geometry tasks like calculating fabric for triangular patterns. Familiarity with these formulas expands your capacity to handle diverse shape-related challenges.
