Detailed Description
- Area:
- The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula:Area=12×Base×HeightArea=21×Base×Height
- Example: For a base of
5
and height of10
, the area is 12×5×10=2521×5×10=25.
- Perimeter:
- The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides.Perimeter=Side 1+Side 2+Side 3Perimeter=Side 1+Side 2+Side 3
- Example: For sides of lengths
5
,10
, and12
, the perimeter is 5+10+12=275+10+12=27.
- Hypotenuse:
- The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:Hypotenuse=Side A2+Side B2Hypotenuse=Side A2+Side B2
- Example: For sides of lengths
3
and4
, the hypotenuse is 32+42=532+42=5.
