Area of triangle


    1. Area of a triangle when we know the base and the height

      The area of a triangle is equal to half of base times height.
      A = 1a · h
      2
    2. Area of a triangle when we know the lengths of all three of its sides (Heron's formula)

      A = √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)
    3. Area of a triangle when we know two sides and the included angle

      The area of a triangle is equal to half of a product of two sides and sine of the angle between this sides.
      A = 1a · b · sin γ
      2
      A = 1a · c · sin β
      2
      A = 1b · c · sin α
      2
    4. Area of a triangle when we know three sides and circumradius

      A = a · b · с
      4R
    5. Area of a triangle when we know semiperimeter and in-radius

      The area of a triangle is equal to semiperimeter times in-radius.
      A = s · r

      where A - the area of a triangle,
      a, b, c - the length of sides BC,AC,AB accordingly,
      h - the height, the length of the altitude,
      α, β, γ - the angles,
      r - the length of the in-radius,
      R - the length of the circumradius,
      s = a + b + c  - the semiperimeter, or half of the triangle's perimeter.
