what is the area of triangle abc?
The Area of triangle ABC = Â½bh = Â½ab. The Area of triangle ABâCâ = Â½(Â½a)(Â½b) = 1/8ab. The Area of triangle BâCAâ = Â½(Â½a)(Â½b) = 1/8ab. The Area of triangle CâAâB = Â½(Â½a)(Â½b) = 1/8ab. The Area of triangle AâBâCâ = Â½(Â½a)(Â½b) = 1/8ab. Now let us look at triangles that are not quite right. The triangle AâBâCâ is constructed by the midpoints of the sides of triangle ABC. This medial triangle has base CâAâ which is parallel to segment AC.
