How do you get the area of a triangle,?

Question

what does the b and h stand for and is there a way to solve for h, explain what and where b is located

Answer 1

base times the hieght divided by 2

the base is the bottom or the triangle and the high it the top of the triangle to the middle of the base

Answer 2

A=1/2*b*h or A=b*h/2

Answer 3

The B Stands For Base And H stands For Height
Allright say this is your triangle
___I\
___I _\
___I___\
-----I____\
H__I_____\
-----I______\
-----I_______ \
-----I_________\
B
Now to get the area you take B And Multiply it By H and then times that by .5 or
B*H*.5
so say B =5
And H=3
5*3=15 then times it bye .5
so you get 7.5 is your answer

Now to find H you must use the pythagorem theorm and this you use A, B, and C

P.S this only works on right triangles

___I\
___I _\
___I___\
-----I____\
A__I_____\
-----I______\ C
-----I_______ \
-----I_________\
B
Now A is your height
B is your base
C is the hypotenues (The Longest Side)
The formula is A squared + B squared = C squared

So say A=6
And B=4
then you take 6 squared so thats 36 and 4 squared wich is 16 so you take 36 +16 =52 then you take 52 squared wich is about 7.2 so C =7.2

But Now to get A (or H) You got to reverse the formula

So its C squared minus B Squared= A squared
So say C =10
and B=7
You take 10squared minus 7 Squared
100-49=51
then you take the square root of 51
wich equals about 7.14

so thats how you find H

Answer 4

area = 1/2 the base times the height, where base is "flat bottom" of the triangle and the height is length of the perpendicular from the angle opposite the base drawn down to the base

Answer 5

Area of triangle =1/2*B * H
where * =multiplication
B=base of triangle
H=height of triangle or altitude
PUt the values , you'll get the answer

Answer 6

If its a right angled triangle the formula is 1/2*base*height

If its a non-right angled triangle, the formula is 1/2ABSinC (where the angle i.e sin C is an included angle i.e angle between two given lengths which is the A & B)

Answer 7

area = one-half * base * height
A = ½bh
the base is any side, and the height is a perpendicular from that side to the opposite vertex.

You can solve for h if you know an angle adjacent to b and (1) the distance along b to the point where h starts; or (2) the other adjacent side, using trigonometry.

Answer 8

The area of a trianlge is 1/2 * base * hieght. b = base, h = height. See the source link below for more details.

Answer 9

b is defined as the base of a triangle. The height (h) is defined as the segment that forms a right angle with the base of a triangle.

Look for those, and you have it made.

Answer 10

thats easy base times height divided by 1/2
