How are the formulas for area of a triangle and rectangle similar?
the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height
What are 3 formulas for the area of the triangle?
I know 1 a=1/2b.h
What are the two formulas for the area of a triangle?
The basic formula is: A = 1/2bh where A is area, b is the base of the triangle and h is the height Using trigonometry, the area of a triangle can also be expressed as: A = 1/2absinC, where A is the area, a and b are two sides of the triangle, and C is the angle between those sides.
What is the formula used to solve for area of a triangle?
There are many formulas to find the area of a triangle although the most common is;A=1/2bh, where b=base and h=height
What is the formulas of rectangle square and triangle?
Area formulas? Area of a rectangle equals base*height Area of a square equals side*side Area of a triange equals 1/2 * base* height
What are formulas for area and perimeter?
Perimeter is the distance around the figure. Add all sides. Area depends on the figure. Triangle --- 1/2 bh Rectangle --- lw. Others --- divide into triangles and find the area of each triangle then add all together.
What is the total area of a shape?
depends which shape - they all have different formulas to work out their area. eg. area of a triangle is 1/2base x height or 1/2ab x sin(c)
FORMULA- area of equilateral triangle?
Area of Equilateral Triangle A= S2 * (Root 3)/4, where A= Area of the triangle S= Side of the triangle.
How are the area formulas of triangles and parallelogram alike. How are they different?
They involve only the base and vertical height.The formula for a triangle is half that for the corresponding parallelogram.
How do you find the area of a triangle that doesn't have a height?
Any triangle has a height. Once you decide that one side is the base, you can measure the perpendicular distance from that side to the other angle - that is the height. However, there are formulas for calculating the area of a triangle, given other data - for example, Heron's formula will give you the area if you know the length of the three sides. You can find additional formulae here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle#Computing_the_area_of_a_triangle
What is the formula for a polygon?
The formulas for a polygon depend on the particular figure. A polygon can be a rectangle, triangle, pentagon, or many other plane figures. So, the formulas for area and volume will be different depending on the type of polygon you have.
What is the area of a triangle 6cm by 8cm?
The area of triangle is : 24.0
