PHP TRIANGLE AREA: Solve for the Area of a Triangle in PHP

Hi there! The following tutorial will introduce you to one of the most common problems encountered in programming subjects. Later on, I will provide set of activities and quizzes for you to practice on to improve your programming skills.

Area solver for shapes is just one of the exercises given by most programming instructors. Some other exercises are the following:

1. Celsius to Fahrenheit Temperature Converter
2. Identify if odd or even number
3. Display numbers using a for loop
4. Solve for the area of a triangle
5. Fibonacci Series

and many more. These are just some of the activities that I posted here in my blog. You can visit the links if you want.

So in this article, I created a simple program to solve for the area of a triangle using php. Let us define what is an area first. Area is the surface of an object like triangle, square, parallelogram, rhombus and many more shapes. The formula used to solve for the area of triangle is

A = Area of the triangle
h = height of the triangle
b = base of the triangle

A=hb/2 or height * base /2

PHP Code area of triangle

<?php

$height=10;

$base=20;

$area=$height*$base/2;

echo $area;
?>
