Half Triangle Section Properties

Section Properties Half Triangle calculator can be used to calculate the area, centroid, and moment of inertia for a half triangle section.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formulas

Area (A) = 0.5 * b * h

Centroid (y) = h/3

Moment of Inertia (I) = b * h^3 / 36

Where:
b = base length
h = height

Learn how to use the Section Properties Half Triangle calculator and its working principles

This calculator is designed to compute the area, centroid, and moment of inertia for a half triangle section. To use the calculator, you need to provide the base length and height of the triangle. Once you input these values, click the "Calculate" button to obtain the results.

Understanding the Results

Area (A): The total area enclosed by the triangle.

Centroid (y): The y-coordinate of the centroid of the triangle, which is the point where the triangle balances if it were made of a uniform material.

Moment of Inertia (I): A measure of the triangle's resistance to bending about an axis, which is important in structural engineering.
