Understanding Triangle Area Calculation
The area of a triangle is the amount of space enclosed within its three sides. There are several ways to calculate it depending on the information you have:
- Base and Height: The most common formula, Area = 1/2 * base * height.
- SSS (Three Sides): Using Heron's formula when all three sides are known.
- SAS (Two Sides and Included Angle): Area = 1/2 * side1 * side2 * sin(included angle).
- SSA (Two Sides and Non-included Angle): Area can be found using sine rule and then SAS formula. Be aware of ambiguous cases.
- ASA (Two Angles and Included Side) & AAS (Two Angles and Non-included Side): Angles and side information can be used to find other sides and then area.
This calculator simplifies these calculations, providing you with quick and accurate results. For further learning, explore resources on triangle geometry and trigonometry.
