Area of a triangle We can find the area of a triangle easily using ½ x base x height However, what if you don’t have the height? a b 400
Area We use the formula Area of triangle = ½ ab Sin C We MUST have an included angle b 400 a
example 4.2cm 750 6.9cm
Example 2 The area of this triangle is 12cm2. Find the value of x x 6cm 5cm
Example 3 Find the total area 3.9cm 4.8cm 750 2.4cm
