Area of a Right Triangle Formulas & Calculator

The area of a right triangle can be calculated using the following formula: if you know the length of the base side and the height.

Formula Knowing the base and the height

If you know the length of the base and height, you can calculate its area using the following formula:

Right Triangle Area

$$"area" = (b * h) / 2 $$

Sides Length

Area result


Where:

$$b = "length of the base side"$$
$$h = "length of the hight"$$

Right Triangle Definition
