  1. Area of a triangle height height base base The area of a triangle is equal to half the area of the rectangle that can be drawn with the same base and height. The Area of the triangle can thus be calculated using the formula Area = ½ base x height or in algebraic form A= ½ bh

  2. Examples 7cm 8cm 6cm 10cm Area =½ base X height = ½ x 10 x 8 = ½x80 =40 sq cm Area =½ base X height = ½ x 6 x 7 = ½x42 =21 sq cm
