If I know base height and hypotenuse of a triangle, what is its area in square foot?
If you know the base and height of a triangle, you can solve for the area by plugging the height into the calculator and multiplying by (1/2). Then multiply by its base. (or vice-versa) The formula for finding the area of a triangle is: (1/2)bh b = base h = height The hypotenuse length does not matter unless you do not know either the base or the heigth. If you don’t know the base and know the heigth and hypotenuse (or you know the heigth and hypotenuse, but do not know the base), use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve.
