Triangle Area Calculator

Find a triangle's area from its base and height.

Area 30

Formula: area = ½ × base × height

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Base = 10

3. Height = 6

5. Area = 30

Did we solve your problem today?

Find a triangle's area using the simplest formula: half base times height.

The math behind it

Area = ½ × base × height, where height is measured perpendicular to the base.

Base 10, height 6 → ½ × 10 × 6 = 30.

What if I only know the three sides?

Use Heron's formula: s = (a+b+c)/2, area = √(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)).
