Understanding Triangle Area

The area of a triangle is the amount of space enclosed within its three sides. It's a fundamental concept in geometry, used in various fields from construction to computer graphics.

Formula

$$ Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height $$

Where:

Base (b): The length of one side of the triangle, usually the bottom side.
Height (h): The perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex (corner).

How to Use This Calculator

Simply enter the base and height of your triangle in the input fields provided. Click the "Calculate Area" button to get the area instantly. The result will be displayed in square units, and you can visualize the triangle below. Use the "Copy Result" button to copy the calculated area to your clipboard.

Example

If a triangle has a base of 10 units and a height of 5 units, its area is calculated as:

$$ Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5 = 25 $$

So, the area of the triangle is 25 square units.
