whats the formula to find the area of a triangle?

Question

coolme · Answer

a= base times height divided by 2. ex 6 times 8 is 48 divided by 2 is 24.

anonymous · Answer

we can have also this formula.
K = √(𝑠(𝑠 −𝑎)(𝑠 −𝑏)(𝑠 −𝑐)) where s = 1/2(𝑎+𝑏 +⁡〖𝑐)〗

coolme · Answer

ya because that formula is ver simple. Use my fromula

anonymous · Answer

actually, that is the Heron's Formula

coolme · Answer

i wonder if tat formula even made sense to einstein. Im sure with his smartness he would be smart enough to use the easier formula

anonymous · Answer

actually, i am not negating or discouraging you to use your formula. I know that is the formula that everyone knows. The question is whats the formula to find the area of a triangle?

so, is it bad to give formulas?

coolme · Answer

well in theory, u r supposed to give the easiest one . less confusing. So maybe u shuld just say. that formula always works with ease and is simple

anonymous · Answer

is there any theory?

anonymous · Answer

why are you trying to correct me? i know that works. you are trying to say that i am wrong.

coolme · Answer

i just want to no how tat theory makes sense. use the example . base is 6 height is 7 what is the area

anonymous · Answer

yes you are right to use that base time height divided by 2.

anonymous · Answer

how about if i'm going to ask this question Find the area of triangle ABC, given 	a = 5 m, b = 7 m, and c = 10 m..

coolme · Answer

i dont no which is base or heigt

anonymous · Answer

so?

anonymous · Answer

better use the formula that i gave .

coolme · Answer

well i needd a diagram to see which is base or heigh

anonymous · Answer

see, not all areas of triangles can be solved by the basic formula.

anonymous · Answer

try to solve that on your own. You made me bad.

coolme · Answer

bye . i wont waste my time here

anonymous · Answer

why not accepting the mistake? you are trying to tell me that you are better than me.
