About this calculation

The area of a triangle using base and height is half of the product of base and height.

Base (b) is length of the base of triangle.

Height (h) is the penpendicular distance from base to the opposite vertex.

Formula

To calculate the triangle area using base and height, you can use the following formula.

Area = \(\frac{ b \times h }{2} \)
