Calculates the area of a triangle using different methods: base and height, or side lengths (using Heron's formula).
Start with your values, or try a preset.
Enter Base of the triangle, Height of the triangle (for base/height calculation), Side A (for Heron's formula), Side B (for Heron's formula), Side C (for Heron's formula), and Calculation Method in the units shown.
Read Semi-perimeter (s), Area (Base and Height), Area (Heron's Formula), and Area of the Triangle in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.
Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.
See the inputs and their calculated results.
