Question 1

How do you calculate the area of a triangle?

Accepted Answer

Multiply the base of the triangle by its height, and then divide the result by 2 (Area = 0.5 × b × h).

Question 2

What inputs are needed for a triangle area calculation?

Accepted Answer

You need the horizontal base width and the vertical perpendicular height from the base to the highest point.

Question 3

Is this formula valid for all triangles?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the 0.5 × base × height formula is mathematically valid for any triangle, whether right-angled, isosceles, or scalene.
