Using the Base and Height

The formula is A = , where b is the length of the triangle’s base, and h is the height of
the triangle.

Using Side Lengths


The formula is ,A = √ where s is the semiperimeter of the triangle,
and a, b, and c are the side lengths of the triangle.

The semi-perimeter of a figure is equal to half its perimeter. To find the semiperimeter, first
calculate the perimeter of a triangle by adding up the length of its three sides. Then, multiply
by

Using One Side of an Equilateral Triangle


An equilateral triangle has three equal side lengths and three equal angle measurements, so
if you know the length of one side, you know the length of all three sides.

The formula is , A = s2 where s equals the length of one side of the equilateral triangle.

Using Trigonometry
Find the length of two adjacent sides and the included angle. Adjacent sides are two
sides of a triangle that meet at a vertex.[6] The included angle is the angle between these two
sides.

Set up the trigonometry formula for the area of a triangle.

The formula is , A = where b and c are the adjacent sides of the triangle, and is
the angle between them.
