\r\n A triangle is a shape that is obtained by connecting three points on the same plane with straight lines.
\r\n\r\n The three points are called vertices of the triangle, and three straight lines\r\n connecting these points are called sides of the triangle.\n
\n The area of a triangle is the span of the region enclosed between the three sides of the triangle.\r\n
\r\n For a triangle with height \\(h\\) and base \\(b\\), the area is given by\r\n $$A = \\frac{1}{2} \\times b \\times h$$\r\n
\n This MagicGraph offers a visual-interactive illustration that explains why the area of a triangle is \\(bh/2\\).\r\n
