1 How to find the area of a triangle when the altitude is not given ?

2 Area of Triangles Without Right Angles
Need: two sides and the included angle (SAS)

3 Area of Triangles Without Right Angles
Area= ab sin C Or: Area = bc sin A Or: Area = ca sin B Note: They are really the same formula, just with the sides and angle changed.

4 Example: b = 375m c = 400m A= 35° Area= x 375 x 400 x sin35 =

5 Area of Triangles Without Right Angles
Heron's Formula Need: three sides (SSS)

6 Heron's Formula

7 Example S = = 38 Area = =
