Study Notes
Calculating the Area of a Triangle
- The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is: A = (b × h) / 2, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.
- The unit of measurement for the area of a triangle is square units (e.g., square meters, square feet, etc.).
- If the base of a triangle is 8 units and the height is 6 units, the area of the triangle would be: A = (8 × 6) / 2 = 24 square units.
