Chapter 10 – Section F: Area of Triangles Area of a Triangle • If we know the base & height, we can find the area: A = ½ bh
Area of a Triangle • What if we don’t know the height?
Area of a Triangle A b h B C a
Area of a Triangle Area = ½ absinC = ½ bcsinA = ½ ac sinB
2) The diagram shows a triangular children’s playground. Find the area of the playground.
