Area of triangle

Open in App

Solution

Area of a triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times (b \times h)$
where h is the length of perpendicular drawn to side of length b.
If triangle is right angle triangle then area = $\frac{1}{2} \times$ (product of the length of perpendicular sides)
Else we can use Herons formula
$A = \sqrt{s (s - a) \times (s - b) \times (s - c)}$
Where a,b,c are length of side of triangle.
$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$
