The Area of a Triangle (A = ½ b•h) equation computes the Area (A) of a triangle based on the base (b) and height (h).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your preferred units and enter the following:

(b) the length of the base of the triangle
(h) the height of the triangle

The calculator returns the area (A) in square meters. However, this can be automatically converted to many other area units (e.g. square feet) via the pull-down menu.
