The general formula for a triangle is Base x Height / 2.
That applies quite easily for a right angle triangle.
The area of the triangle in square meters is (1/2 the length of the triangle's base, in meters) times (the length of the triangle's height, in meters).
8x6 divided by 2
1/2*18*base = 72 square meters Multiply both sides by 2 and then divided both sides by 18 to find the base:- base = 8 meters Check: 1/2*18*8 = 72 square meters
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
square the length of the 2 shorter sides, add them together, take the square root and you have the hypotenuse
The area of the triangle in square meters is (1/2 the length of the triangle's base, in meters) times (the length of the triangle's height, in meters).
The square of the length of the base plus the square of the length of the height will equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse of your right triangle, per Pythagoras. Square the hypotenuse, subtract the square of the height, and then find the positive square root of that and you'll have the base of your right triangle.

Ok to find the area of an isosceles triangle: Find the height first, to do this use this formula: Height = Square root ( one side square - half the base square) Now that you have the height you can calculate the area by the use of this formula: Area = (1/2)(base)(height) This will give you the surface area of an isosceles triangle. Lets do an example: You have a triangle that has two sides that measure 24 meters and a base of 20 meters. Using the formula above for height you will get a height of 21.8 meters Now use the formula above to find the area and it will give you an area of 218 meters square
Oh, dude, so you got this triangle with a base of 9 meters and an area of 81 square meters, right? Well, the height of that bad boy is technically 18 meters. Yeah, it's like basic math or whatever. So, there you go, the height is 18 meters, like, no big deal.
8x6 divided by 2
1/2*18*base = 72 square meters Multiply both sides by 2 and then divided both sides by 18 to find the base:- base = 8 meters Check: 1/2*18*8 = 72 square meters
Square the two smaller sides and add them together. Take the square root of the answer. If that is the same as the third side then you have a right angled triangle and if not, then you have not.
-- Square the hypotenuse. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Square the base. (Multiply it by itself.)-- Subtract the square of the base from the square of the hypotenuse.-- Take the square-root of the difference. It's the height of the triangle.
if the triangle has one right angle in it
square the length of the 2 shorter sides, add them together, take the square root and you have the hypotenuse
