The formula for finding a triangle's area is 1/2bh or bh/2. b is the base, h is the height. The problem would be very hard if you do not know the height. If you did, here is an example problem.
h = 3 and your area is 12
Fill in the missing parts.
b3/2=12
You multiply 12 by 2, canceling out the /2.
You are left with b3 = 24
Since b3 is b times 3, you divide 24 by 3 to cancel out the multiply by 3
The answer to that problem would be 8.

In order to find the area of a triangle, you need to multiply the base of the triangle with the height of the triangle and then halve your final answer.The formula is (Base x Height) / 2Using that, the area of a triangle can be found.Hope that helps.Jamz159
To find the area of a triangle, you have to multiply the base of the triangle and the height of the triangle, then divide the product of those numbers by two.
Area = 0.5*Base*Height
Area of a triangle = 0.5*base*perpendicular height
The relation between the height of a triangle, its base and its area is given by: Area = 0.5 * Base * Height Therefore, we have: Height = (2 * Area)/ Base.
Area of a triangle = 1/2*base*height
It is found by: base = (area*2)/height
base = (2*area)/height
Area = 1/2 * base * height.
Divide the area by height then you get the base.
