The area of a triangular region is given by the following formula:
h = height measurement
b = base measure
We can write: the area of a triangular region is given by half the product of the base measure and the corresponding height measure.
Example 1
We cannot always use the formula mentioned above, as in some situations the base or height is not given, so we have to resort to Heron's Formula.
Given a triangle of sides a, b and c we have:
Where p is the semiperimeter value.
Example 2
There is another way to calculate the area of a triangle, when we know the measurements of two of its sides and the measurement of the angle formed by them, the area of the region will be calculated as follows:
Example 3
