Given:
Area of a triangle
Required:
Explanation of the area of a triangle.
Explanation:
Definition of Area :
Amount of space within the closed surface of of a 2D shape.
Area of a triangle:
Amount of space within the given triangle is the area of a triangle.
Formula to find the area of a triangle:
[tex]\text{Area of a triangle=}\frac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height\text{ square units}[/tex]For Example we take one triangle with dimension:
Base of the above triangle is BC and height of a triangle is AD.
[tex]\begin{gathered} BC=10cm\text{ } \\ AD=6cm \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area of a triangle=}\frac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times10\times6 \\ =30cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
