Question

Simple TSA formula of a right angle triangle?

Answer 1

`A_t = (1/2) a b`

Explanation:

General formula for a triangle area is given by

`A_t` = (1/2) * base * height.

Formula for area of a right triangle is

`A_t = (1/2) b a` where a and b are the containing sides of the right angle and c is the hypotenuse.

i.e. b is the base and a the height of the triangle. (Refer figure above).
