Triangle Area Calculator

The MathCalc triangle area calculator is used to find the area of a triangle. It uses two methods depending on whether you know the base and height or the length of all three sides (Heron’s formula). MathCalc simplifies complex formulas and makes them easier to understand.

A step-by-step guide on how to use the MathCalc triangle area calculator

Step by step:

  • Choose a method from base and height or three sides (Heron’s formula).
  • If you select base and height, then enter the base and height in the given boxes.
  • If you choose three sides (Heron’s formula), then enter side A, side B, or side C in the given boxes.
  • After entering the values, click calculate, and in a few seconds, you will see the result.

Example 1: If we choose the base and height

Enter 10 in the base and 8 in the height.

Step by step:

  • Formula: Area = ½ × base × height
  • Given: base = 10, height = 8
  • Area = ½ × 10 × 8 = 40

result:

  • Area = 40 square units

Example 2: if we choose three sides (Heron’s formula)

Enter 5 in the side A box, 6 in the side B box, and 7 in the side C box.

Step by step:

  • Using Heron's formula: Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)]
  • Where s = (a + b + c) ÷ 2 (semi-perimeter)
  • Given: a = 5, b = 6, c = 7
  • s = (5 + 6 + 7) ÷ 2 = 9
  • Area = √[9 × (9-5) × (9-6) × (9-7)]
  • Area = √[9 × 4 × 3 × 2] = 14.696938456699

result:

  • Area = 14.6969 square units

FAQ

What are the two formulas used to find the area of a triangle in MathCalc?

The two formulas are as follows: 1- Area = ½ × base × height 2- Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] (Heron’s formula)

Can I enter sides in different units?

No, enter all sides or dimensions in the same unit for an accurate result.
