Area of a triangle

This applet is an attempt to show that the area of any triangle with a fixed base and height (but different shape!) has the same area.

You can drag point right and left, and see that the area of the triangle remains the same. This applet also shows the height of the triangle and the base of the triangle, which are shown as being at 90o.

Please install Java 1.4 (or later) to use this page.
