The formula for area and perimeter of an obtuse triangle is similar to the formula for any other triangle.
Hence, the area of the triangle is given by:
Area = 1/2 × b × h
where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.
Or
A=sq.units
Where s = (a+b+c)/2 (s= semiperimeter)
where a, b and c are the length of the sides of the triangle.
The perimeter of the triangle is always equal to the sum of the sides of the triangle. Hence, if a, b and c are the sides of the obtuse triangle, then perimeter is given by;
Perimeter = a+b+c
