Question

What is the formula to the area of a triangle?

Answer 1

A=bh/2

Explanation:

For a right triangle with base b and a height h, its area is A=bh/2

Answer 2

(Base x height) x 1/2

Explanation:

We do this because a triangle is emulating a rectangle with Base x Height. However, a triangle's shape is less conventional than a standard square or rectangle, thus the division by 2.
