The area for a triangle is half the product of the base times the height. But what if we aren't given the height? Well, if your triangle is a right triangle and you are given the hypotenuse, it is easy to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side. After this, it is easy to plug in to find the area. Always remember to label your area answer with units squared.
