 How to calculate the area of a non right angle triangle

Math facts about calculating the area of a non rat triangle 

To find the area of a non-right triangle. A right triangle is made up of three sides: the base, the height, and the hypotenuse. To get the area of a triangle you must multiply the two adjacent side lengths of the 90° angle, which are the base and the height of the triangle, and divide this quantity by half. This is the formula for the area of a right triangle: Formula for the area of a right triangle. A=1/2bh(Area=½ base x height)

A worked example of calculating the area of a non rat triangle 

use variables to represent the measures of the unknown sides and angles. Apply the Law of Cosines to find the length of the unknown side or angle. Apply the Law of Sines or Cosines to find the measure of a second angle. Compute the measure of the remaining angle.

Everyday uses of finding the area of a non rat triangle 

Find the area of triangle 

The area of a triangle is defined as the total region that is enclosed by the three sides of any particular triangle. Basically, it is equal to half of the base times height, i.e. A = 1/2 × b × h.
