What Is Triangle Area?

The area of a triangle is the region enclosed by its three sides. The most common formula uses the base and perpendicular height.

Formula

A = ½ × base × height

Example

A triangle with base 10 and height 6 has area = ½ × 10 × 6 = 30 square units.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I only know three sides?

Use Heron's formula: A = √(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)) where s = (a+b+c)/2.

Can I find the area with two sides and an angle?

Yes: A = ½ × a × b × sin(C), where C is the angle between sides a and b.
