How do you find the area of triangle?

I know area of a triangle equals 1/2 base*height. But is is, Base times Heighf FIRST, then halve it, or is it half of the base first, then times the height?
That statement was a bit confusing, so here’s a second one in case you don’t understand the first one:
When finding the area of a [...]

How to find Length of the base of a triangle if Area= 36 cm(sq’d) & base has a 90 degree angle?

Each angle of the triangle is labeled as follows beginning left to right beginning with base: X,Y,Z. Angle ‘Y’ is a 90 degree angle. The area of the triangle is 36 cm squared. Need to find the length of leg XY. Answers were: A. 6, B. 9, C. 12, D. 18, F. 24. Can anyone [...]

Express the hypotenuse h of a right triangle given the area as a function of the perimeter?

Express the hypotenuse h of a right triangle with area 25m^2 as a function of it’s perimeter p.
How would I do this? Thank for helping!
Call A=25 the area.
Call a and b the sides (and their length) adjacent to the right triangle.
We have:
1) Area: A = ab/2, so that ab = 2A
2) perimeter: p = a [...]

Software which will calculate the area under a graph? Or triangle area?

Hi, I have 4 or so graphs to calculate the area of. I am willing to redraw them digitally.
Is there any software which will give me a numerical value for the area under the triangle of each graph?
Or the area of each triangle I draw?
Thanks.

Do centroid divides any triangle area in three equal areas ?

if yes prove it and if no then which point of triangle do this.
Thanks
Hey venkat R
Is this true for all types of Triangle ?
When the centroid is joined to the vertices of its triangle, it is true that the centroid divides the triangle into three equal areas. Proof: Let ABC be the [...]

I have three linear equations & they form a triangle, how do i find the triangles area?

I also have the intercept points.
I have to use the information above (equations and intercepts) to find the area.
Help please!
The equations are y=2x+2, y= -x+5 and y=1/2x-1
the intercepts are (1,4) (-2,-2) and (4,1)
First take the distance between each intercept:
d = sqrt((second x – first x) ^2 + (second y – first y)^2)
So the distance between [...]

How to find the sides of a triangle given the area and 3 angles?

An isosceles triangle has an area of 24 cm2, and the angle between the two equal sides is
5pi/6. What is the length of the two equal sides?
The length of the two equal sides is approximately equal to 23 cm….
Too much working out….

Really need a Calc expert! A rectangle (positioned askew) inscribed in a right triangle, maximize area?

A rectangle is to be inscribed in a right triangle having sides of length 6(ground leg), 8 (standing leg), and 10 in (hypotenuse). Find the dimensions of the rectangle with the greatest area assuming the rectangle is positioned with one side running directly on the hypotenuse (so like tipped up on one side). Need explanation!
