Formula highlights

Triangle area
A = 1/2 x base x height
Degrees to radians
radians = degrees x pi / 180

Triangle example set

Right triangle with legs 6 and 8 -> hypotenuse 10.

Triangle with base 12 and height 5 -> area 30 square units.

Triangle with sides 13, 14, 15 -> area 84 square units using Heron’s formula.

Angle conversion examples

45 degrees = pi/4 radians.

120 degrees = 2pi/3 radians.

1 radian is about 57.3 degrees.

Method-choice reminders

  • Use Pythagoras only for right triangles.
  • Use base-height area when a perpendicular height is known.
  • Use Heron’s formula when all three side lengths are known.

Common mistakes

  • Misidentifying the hypotenuse.
  • Using a non-perpendicular side as height.
  • Switching calculator angle modes without noticing.
