@tulip holly Can you send a picture of your question?

idk what to do
wdym median?
do you mean angle?
if so then you use 0.5 * side a * side b * sin(C)

wdym median?
As far as my brain will stretch, the first thing that comes to mind is Mean Median Mode

its like the line which joins the middle of the opposite side
so its rhe heigjt?
silent perch
idk what to do
depending on the subject as well
area = base*height/2
is for right angle
and scalene
and isoceles
however if youre doing trigonometry
its 1/2 * a* b * sinC

so its rhe heigjt?
no..

opposite to what???

Try duplicating the traingle and rotate it so that the median in in line and BC matches
it proves 1/2 absin(c)
although you need angle to find median
silent perch
so the median is the midpoint of the base?
wait no its a line from the top to the base
silent perch
wait no its a line from the top to the base
midpoint of the base
frail onyx
yes

if you have median length and two sides length
I believe this relation could be useful
I was summoned

OHHHHH
Yes I can do that
Right lemmie get my math book
Ok, so. The formula to find the area of a triangle is Base times Hight times Two
Ah devided by two..
Right devided
B * H / 2 = A
The height here is the Median
So you need to find D, the base, and times it by Median, the height
$$ c^2 * n + b^2 m = a(d^2+mn) $$

Here since its the median, m = n
Thus we get
How does m = n?
ah wait I see
Because its the median
median is NOT the height
d is the median, no?
fair verge
d is the median, no?
Yes length of median

Ahh I thought it looked skew..
Since n = m and a = m/2 = n /2
$$ a/2( c^2 + b^2 ) = a(d^2 + (a/2)^2 ) $$
Right

So with this relation you can find the third side, then probably apply Heron's Formula to get the area
@tulip holly
Oh wait I haven't even touched on this subject yet
Why r u in the ticket
?
Ahh I see you're smarter!
I deem myself useless, Triangles are easy and you've got this Coffey!
