A right triangle is easy, simply multiply the two sides and divide by two. A non-right triangle is a bit more of a challenge. You have to make it a right triangle by adding a right triangle to it. Calculate and then subtract the area of what you had to add.

What is the area of a right triangle that has legs 7 cm and 4 cm long?

The area of a right triangle that has legs 7 cm and 4 cm long can be calculated using the fact that a right triangle is half of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is l*h, so the area of a right triangle is l*h/2. In this case, the area is 14 cm^2.


How do you find the area of an equilalateraltriangle?

Area of Equilateral Triangle = (Sqrt(3) / 4) * l². So if the length of the triangle is 3, it would be Area = (Sqrt(3) / 4) * l² = (1.73 / 4) * 3² = 0.43 * 9 = 3.87.

Find the area of an equilateral triangle with altitude h cm?

The altitude of an equilateral triangle bisects the base. So, if the sides of the triangle were l cm, the altitude forms a right angled triangle with sides h, l/2 and hypotenuse l cm. Then, by Pythagoras, h2 = 3l2 / 4 so that h = l*sqrt(3)/2 and then area = l*h/2 = l*[l*sqrt(3)/2]/2 =l2*sqrt(3)/4
