ABC is a triangle. AC=4cm; AB=3cm; A=60 degrees.
I need help finding the area of triangle ABC.
I need help finding the area of triangle ABC.
The formula for finding the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height, where A represents the area, and base and height represent the base and height of the triangle, respectively.
The base and height of a triangle can be found by measuring the distance from the base to the opposite vertex and drawing a perpendicular line from the opposite vertex to the base. The length of this perpendicular line is the height, and the length of the base can be measured directly.
Yes, as long as the units of measurement for the base and height are the same, the area will also be in those units. For example, if the base is measured in inches and the height in inches, the area will be in square inches.
The area of a triangle refers to the amount of space inside the triangle, while the perimeter refers to the distance around the edges of the triangle. The formula for finding the perimeter is P = side1 + side2 + side3, where P represents the perimeter and side1, side2, and side3 represent the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
Yes, the formula A = 1/2 * base * height can be used to find the area of any type of triangle, including equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. However, the method for finding the base and height may differ depending on the type of triangle.
