I will eventually prove all of the methods, save for A=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]bh, as A=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]bh is the generic formula for the area of a triangle; all other methods are a variant of A=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]bh.

Let me save you the agony of doing that. You don't have to do all that work. It is enough with what you have posted. If others need to see the prove, they can search online.

This is a nice chart. I just wish that you would buy black or blue flair pens for clear writing.
