The area of a triangle is b X h ( = the base of the triangle multiplied by the perpendicular height from the base). This can help you out in life if you are a very good mathematician and the question occurs.

How do you work out the area of a scalene triangle?

The area of any triangle has the same formula, which is base times height, divided by 2. A scalene triangle is a triangle with three sides of unequal length, which is not important when calculating the area.


How can it be proved that the circumradius of a triangle is the product of three sides divided by four times the area of the triangle?

We know that R = a/2sinA area of triangle = 1/2 bc sinA sin A = 2(area of triangle)/bc R = (a/2)*2(area of triangle)/bc R = abc/4*(area of triangle)


Can a triangle have the same perimeter and area as a parallelogram?

I don't know about the relation in the perimeters of a triangle and a parallelogram but if a triangle is on the same base on which the parallelogram is and the triangle is between the same parallel lines of the parallelogram, then the area of the triangle will be half the area of the parallelogram. That is, area of a triangle = 1/2 area of a parallelogram if the triangle is on the same base and between the same parallel lines.


Area of a triangle with base of 26.5 and perpendicular height of 35m?

Answer:We know that the area of the triangle is ½ *breadth *height.Given: The height of the triangle is 35 m and the base of the triangle is 26.5Therefore the area = ½ (26.5*35)= ½ (927.5)= 463.75Source: www.icoachmath.com


What is the area of a triangle with a bottom length of 3 yd?

Need to know the triangle's height to tell.


How do you find the area of a triangle when you only know the height?

if you know the two legs of the triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse as the base. Then you use the formula to find the area of the triangle: 1/2 (pi) bh.


How do you find the area of the triangle when the height and the area is given?

The area of the triangle is 1/2*bh. So if you know the height and the base just plug in the values.

Area of equilateral triangle?

To get the area of an equilateral triangle, you just need to know the length of one side. Multiply the length of one side by the square root of three and then divide the product by four, and you will get the area of the triangle.


Why is decomposing important when finding the area of a complex triangle?

It is not. A triangle is one of the few plane shapes where decomposition will rarely help. Also, what is a complex triangle?


What information do you have to know to find the area of a triangle?

You need to know the base and height of the triangle. Once you found these multiply together and divide by two.


How do you find the base and height of a triangle when you only have the area of the triangle?

If you only have the triangle's area, then you only know the product of (base times height) ... it's double the area ... but you can't tell what either of those individual lengths is.
