Area of a Triangle

Geometry and Measures Area of a Triangle

🎬 Video Tutorial

(0:01) Area of a Triangle: The area of a triangle is half of the base multiplied by the height.
(0:45) Choosing the Base and Height: To calculate the area, choose any side of the triangle as the base, and the height is the perpendicular distance from this base to the opposite vertex.
(1:57) Example on Right-Angled Triangles: In right-angled triangles, the two shorter sides (legs) can be used as the base and height because they are perpendicular to each other.
(2:37) Solving for Height: If the area and base are known, rearrange the formula to find the height of the triangle.
