The answer is 6. The formula is 1/2 of base times perpendicular height. In the case of a 3:4:5 triangle, there is a right angle between the two shorter sides so they are inherently perpendicluar to each other. So you can either say the base is 3 and the perpendicular height is 4 or the base is 4 and the perpendicular is 3 - either way 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6. Brian DOWNIE The answer is 6.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
