1. **Problem statement:** Calculate the area and perimeter of different types of triangles using the given formulas.
2. **General triangle:**
- Area formula: $$P = \frac{1}{2} a h$$ where $a$ is the base and $h$ is the height.
- Perimeter formula: $$O = a + b + c$$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are the sides.
- Heron's formula for area: $$P = \sqrt{s (s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$$ where $$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$$ is the semi-perimeter.
3. **Right triangle:**
- Area formula: $$P = \frac{1}{2} a b$$ where $a$ and $b$ are the legs.
- Perimeter formula: $$O = a + b + c$$ where $c$ is the hypotenuse.
4. **Isosceles triangle:**
- Area formula: $$P = \frac{1}{2} a h$$ where $a$ is the base and $h$ is the height.
- Perimeter formula: $$O = a + 2b$$ where $b$ is the length of the equal sides.
5. **Equilateral triangle:**
- Area formulas:
- $$P = \frac{1}{2} a h$$
- $$P = \frac{h \sqrt{3}}{3}$$
- $$P = \frac{a \sqrt{3}}{2}$$
- $$P = 3a$$ (perimeter)
- Height formula: $$h = \frac{a \sqrt{3}}{2}$$
These formulas allow you to calculate the area and perimeter of any triangle type by substituting the known side lengths and heights.
**Final note:** Use the appropriate formula depending on the triangle type and known values.
