Area of a triangle

The area of a triangle can be found wheather it is a right triangle or not. There are two different formulas for right and non-right triangles. For a right triangle the formula is more simple and you do not need an angle since its obviously 90 degrees. With the formula for a non-right trianlge you need two legs and the angle inbetween them. If you dont have all of this given in the triangle, you must use other formulas such as law of sins and cos to find them. *Make sure after you solve the for the area you put the units after to revcieve full credit.

Formula for right triangle:

1/2 B H (base times height divided by 2)

Fromula for non-right triangle:

1/2 (adjacent leg) (adjacent leg) sin(angle in between them)

Ex1 ABC 1/2 *4 =4

Ex2 DEF 1/2 4*5*sin(50)=5
