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
You can also watch the video on YouTube here.
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
baseandheightof a triangle usinginput()orraw_input() - Multiply both
baseandheightand 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)
