This Python program shows how you can calculate the area of a triangle in python and display it using the python’s print method.
How to Calculate the area if a triangle in Python?
Assume that you have three variables side1,side2 and side3 which refers to the three sides of a triangle. The area of the triangle is calculated with the formula as shown below.
area = SQRT((peri(peri-side1)(peri-side2)(peri-side3)))
Where perimiter ,
peri = (side1+side2+side3)/2
Python Code
# Python Program to find the area of triangle
side1 = 2
side2 = 1
side3 = 8
# calculate the semi perimeter in Python
peri = (side1 + side2 + side3) / 2
# calculate the area of a triangle
areaTriangle = (peri*(peri-side1)*(peri-side1)*(peri-side1)) ** 0.5
print('The area of the triangle is %%0.2f' %%areaTriangle)
Output
The area of the triangle is 15.36
