Area of Triangle with 3 Sides Coordinates Calculator
Triangle Area Calculator
Welcome to our Area of Triangle Calculator! This tool allows you to calculate the area of a triangle when you know the coordinates of its three vertices. Follow these simple steps to use the calculator:
Step 1: Enter the Coordinates
- X1 and Y1: Start by entering the X and Y coordinates of the first vertex of the triangle. For example, if the first point of the triangle is at (3, 4), enter
3in the X1 field and4in the Y1 field. - X2 and Y2: Next, enter the X and Y coordinates of the second vertex. For instance, if the second point is at (5, 6), input
5in the X2 field and6in the Y2 field. - X3 and Y3: Finally, enter the X and Y coordinates of the third vertex. If the third point is at (7, 8), you would enter
7in the X3 field and8in the Y3 field.
Step 2: Calculate the Area
- Once you have entered the coordinates for all three vertices, click the Calculate Area button. This will process the coordinates you’ve entered and calculate the area of the triangle.
Step 3: View the Results
- After clicking the Calculate Area button, the area of the triangle will be displayed below the button. The result will show you the calculated area in square units.
Tips for Using the Calculator
- Ensure that the coordinates you enter are numbers. The calculator cannot process letters or special characters.
- If you need to calculate the area of another triangle, simply change the coordinates in the input fields and click the Calculate Area button again.
- The calculator works for any set of valid coordinates, allowing you to calculate the area for both right-angled triangles and non-right-angled triangles.
Example
Let’s say you want to calculate the area of a triangle with vertices at (3, 4), (5, 6), and (7, 8). You would enter:
- X1:
3, Y1:4 - X2:
5, Y2:6 - X3:
7, Y3:8
Then, click Calculate Area to see the result.
