    thank you

    The general form to calculate the triangle is:


    square root of (s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))


    where, "s" is the semi-perimeter of the triangle = (a+b+c)/2


    and a,b and c are the sides of a given triangle.


    Other areas for special triangles are generalized form of this form.


    Hope this helped you to some extent.


     

    base x height 


    then divide by two


     

    Answers are correct for right triangles and equallateral only.
