Area of triangle = (1/2) * base * corresponding altitude
Perimeter = Sum of the sides
Area of equilateral triangle = [(side)^2 * sqrt 3]/4
There's another formula for area of triangle. It is called Hero's formula.
Let a triangle have sides x, y and z
Take half the perimeter:
(x + y + z)/2 = s
s is called the semi perimeter (meaning half the perimeter)
Area of the triangle :
sqrt [s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)]
Pythagoras theorem:
In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the legs = the square of the hypotenuse.
Let x, y be the legs and z be the hypotenuse. Then:
x^2 + y^2 = z^2
In an isosceles right triangle, the hypotenuse is length of a leg multiplied by sqrt 2
Let x, y be the legs and z be the hypotenuse. x = y
Then z = x * sqrt 2

I'm going to assume you mean the formula for AREA of a triangle. It's 1/2 length * height.
If you meant the formula for the length of the side of a right triangle, it's a^2 + b^2 = c^2,
where c is the length of the longest side and a and b are the two shorter sides. There are MANY MANY other formulas involving triangles, look in any math textbook for examples.

For right triangle, a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a & b = legs/short
For all,
A=1/2 x B x H
**NOTE:** ^2 = squared

what forumula are you talking about?
Area = 1/2 bh
pythagorean theorem... a^2 + b^2 = c^2
all interior angles must add up to 180 degrees.

ds^2 = g11dx^2 + (g12 + g21)dxdy + g22dy^2,
where gij are the metric components (usually g12 = g21).
