Base Area of Triangular Prism Calculator

Calculate Base Area







Formula

The formula to calculate the Base Area of a Triangular Prism is:

\[ A_{\text{Base}} = \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{(S_a + S_b + S_c)(S_a + S_b - S_c)(S_b + S_c - S_a)(S_c + S_a - S_b)} \]

Definition

The Base Area of a Triangular Prism is the total amount of two-dimensional space occupied by the base face of the prism. The Side A, Side B, and Side C of the Base are the lengths of the three edges of the triangular base.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ A_{\text{Base}} = \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{(10 + 14 + 20)(10 + 14 - 20)(14 + 20 - 10)(20 + 10 - 14)} \approx 64.9923072370877 \]

The Base Area is approximately 64.9923072370877 Square Meters.
