Example Question #61 : How To Find The Area Of A Right Triangle
Find the area of a right triangle whose side lengths are 5 and 4.
To solve, simply use the formula for the area of a triangle. Thus,
Example Question #1453 : Basic Geometry
What is the area of a right triangle that has two side lengths of 7 and 8 inches respectively and the third side is the hypotenuse.
The formula for the area of a triangle is, .
In the case of a right triangle you can use the two side lengths other than the hypotenuse to solve the equation.
Area is in units squared.
Example Question #71 : How To Find The Area Of A Right Triangle
Find the area of a right triangle with base 4 and height 5.
To solve, simply use the formula for the area of a triangle. Thus,
If the formula escapes you, simply remember that two equivalent triangles put together equal a rectangle. So, the area of a triangle must be half the area of a rectangle.
