Area of a Triangle
How do I find the area of a non-right triangle?
- The area of any triangle can be found using the formula
-
- Where C is the angle between sides a and b
- Be careful to label your triangle correctly so that C is always the angle between the two sides
- Sin 90° = 1 so if C = 90° this becomes Area = ½ × base × height
Examiner Tip
- Remember to check that your calculator is in degrees mode!
