Area Of Triangles: The formula to calculate the area of a triangle

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a triangle by first reviewing the area of a rectangle. It demonstrates that by drawing a diagonal in a rectangle, two triangles are formed, and thus the area of one triangle is half the area of the rectangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is derived as 1/2 times the base times the height. This formula is applicable to all triangles, and the video emphasizes the importance of identifying the correct base and height.
