FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the formula for triangle area?

Area = (Base × Height) ÷ 2, where height is perpendicular to the base.

What's the formula for perimeter?

Perimeter = Side A + Side B + Side C

Does this solve for angles?

No, this calculates area and perimeter from given measurements - angle-solving requires trigonometric methods.

What if I only know the three sides, not the height?

You could use Heron's formula to find area from three sides alone, though this calculator uses base/height directly.

Can this check if a triangle is valid?

A valid triangle requires any two sides to sum to more than the third side - verify this holds for your measurements.

Does this work for right triangles specifically?

Yes, the area formula works for any triangle type including right triangles.

Is my data saved?

No, calculations happen entirely in your browser.

What units should I use?

Use consistent units throughout (all inches, all cm, etc.) for a meaningful result.

Can side lengths be decimals?

Yes, decimal measurements are fully supported.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up required.
