Results
Base and height determine area, but not the other sides, perimeter or angles. For a right triangle, use the two-legs method.
How it was calculated
Why divide a triangle’s area by two?
How to use the triangle calculator
Choose a method and enter its known measurements. Side lengths must be positive. The completed triangle and calculation steps appear automatically.
Can base and height determine a triangle?
No. Base and height determine the area only. The apex can move sideways, changing the other sides, perimeter and angles without changing that area.
Geometry formulas
SSS: A = √(s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c))
SAS: c² = a²+b²−2ab cos C
AAS/ASA: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C
Right triangle: two legs: c² = a²+b²
Triangle: base and height: A = b×h/2
