How to Find the Area of a Triangle

A triangle is a three sided figure that has three angles.
For example:
A triangle is half of a parallelogram. So the formula to find the area of a triangle is (b-base x h-height) divided by 2 (to get the height of a triangle you make a parallel
line from the base to the tallest vertex).

For example the base of the triangle is 2 cm and the Height of the triangle is 4 cm

First you have to multiply the 2 by the 4 to get 8

Then you divide 8 by 2 to get the area w
hich is 4 cm
