STEP 12: Now let's calculate the area of the triangle.

In Python sometimes it better to do division by multiplying by a decimal. Remember, we use an asterisk * for multiplication.

  • Make the value of triangle_area equal to 0.5 * triangle_width * triangle_height.
  • This is the same as using the formula area = 1/2 x base x height .
