Hello everybody, welcome back! Here we learn how to find the area of a triangle when base and height of a triangle are given.
We calculate the area by multiplying base and height and dividing it with 2. Area = ( base * height ) / 2
We can also calculate area of triangle when all sides are given, using Heron’s formula. That can be found here.
Area of triangle – Code Visualization
Task :
To find the area of a triangle when base and height of a triangle are given.
Approach :
- Read
base
andheight
of a triangle usinginput()
orraw_input()
- Multiply both
base
andheight
and divide it with 2 Area a = ( base * height ) / 2
- Print the result.
Program :
b = float(input('Enter base of a triangle: ')) h = float(input('Enter height of a triangle: ')) area = (b * h) / 2 print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' % area)
Output :
