What is the area of the triangle?
The base of the triangle is
pluralTex(B, UNIT_TEXT) and the height is
pluralTex(H, UNIT_TEXT), so the area of the
rectangle shown above is B
\times H.
The triangle takes up half as much area as the rectangle,
so the area of the triangle is \frac{1}{2} of
B \times H.
\text{area} = \frac{1}{2} \times B \times
H = (B * H) / 2
What is the area of the triangle?
The base of the triangle is
pluralTex(B, UNIT_TEXT) and the height is
pluralTex(H, UNIT_TEXT), so the area of the
rectangle shown above is B
\times H.
The triangle takes up half as much area as the
rectangle (look at the
left part
and the
right part
separately to see how), so the area of the triangle is
\frac{1}{2} of
B \times H.
\text{area} = \frac{1}{2} \times B \times
H = (B * H) / 2
What is the area of the triangle?
The area of any triangle is
\frac{1}{2}
\text{base} \times \text{height}.
The base of the triangle is pluralTex(B, UNIT_TEXT) and the height is pluralTex(H, UNIT_TEXT).
\text{area} = \frac{1}{2} \times B \times
H = (B * H) / 2
