Area of a triangle GIF

Quick GIF that covers how to find the area of a triangle if you are given the height. If the height is not given there are several methods for finding the height including Herons formula. This page reviews several methods for finding the area of a triangle based on information you are given. Area of triangle

I understand my GIF is not polished and slick. As a teacher I can't spend hours making the perfect GIF but I enjoy creating these simple little Math GIFs with a very basic program, I feel I get a descent product for the amount of time spent creating it.
