Use the formula 1/2 the base * the height
b x h=n /2
Area of a triangle: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
You will have to use a formula, but this can easily be derived for the special case of a right triangle. If you divide a rectangle by a diagonal, you divide it into two congruent triangles, therefore, the triangle has half the area of the rectangle, that is, 1/2 times base times height.
39 sq. unitsThe area of any right triangle is A = 1/2 (b x h)1/2 (base) multiplied by (height)A right triangle can always be set down so that the legs are the base and the height.So if you know the length of the legs, you can apply the area formula directly.
