You have to multiply the base times the height and then divide that by 2.

Probably Heron wanted a way to calculate the area of the triangle.
The formula used to calculate the area of a triangle is:=1/2 b x h= half of base x height of the triangleHope this helps, have a great dayMAKE IT SHINE :)
There are many formulae for triangles: Some formulae will calculate sides given angles or conversely. Some will calculate the area. It is not possible to say how you would use a formula without knowing what it is for!
Because the formula to calculate the area is height x (base/2)
Depends on the length of the sides ! The simple formula to calculate the area of a triangle is half the base times the height.
