How this calculator works

Enter the base and the perpendicular height in the same units.

Formula

Area = 0.5 × base × perpendicular height.

Before you use the result

Calculator outputs are estimates based on the numbers you provide. Replace the examples with measurements, costs, rates, or product information appropriate to your situation.

Keep in mind

Height must be perpendicular to the selected base, not the sloping side length.
