Intuition for why the area of a triangle is one half of base times height.
To find the area of a triangle,
multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2
comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. For example, in the diagram to the left, the area of each triangle is equal to one-half the area of the parallelogram.
