What is the Triangle Area Calculator?
Calculate the area of a triangle from its base and height. These geometry calculators work out area, perimeter, volume and surface area for common shapes. Units are flexible — enter every length in the same unit and the answer comes back in that unit (squared or cubed).
How to use the Triangle Area Calculator
- Enter your base, your height.
- Results update automatically as you type; you can also press Calculate.
- Read the output: area.
- Use the 📊 chart to see the result visually, then copy or share it.
Formula and method
Worked example
With base = 10, height = 6, the Triangle Area Calculator returns area: 30.
Tips for better results
- Keep all measurements in one unit before calculating.
- Area units are squared (m², ft²) and volume units are cubed (m³, ft³).
- Use our area and volume converters to switch units afterwards.
