Area of a square is base x height.
A triangle is half a square, so
Area of a triangle is (base x height) divided by 2

half x the length of the base x the perpendicular height = 1/2bh
ps. some people say half the base x the height but it makes no difference overall
ps again. this is because any triangle is half of the rectangle basexheight i.e. that is why you calculate the area of the rectangle and then halve it
e.g. area of triangle = 24cm squared
so area of respective rectangle = 48cm squared
hope that helped

You have to let us know what values you're starting with! Basically I think you have to choose on of the sides as the base, then run a perpendicular line from that to the opposite angle. Multiply the two together and divide by 2!
