I'm trying to find the area of this triangle using the $\frac{1}{2} \times b \times h$ formula, but for some reason, it isn't quite working out. My workings:
My working:
$$\alpha = \sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}} = \sqrt{2}$$ $$\beta = \sqrt{2^{2} + 2^{2}} = 2\sqrt{2}$$
$$\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{2} \times 2\sqrt{2} = 2?$$
I know the area is supposed to be 0.5 units^2, so what am I doing wrong here?
