Area of Triangles

Front

What is the formula for calculating the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

If a triangle has a base of 10 cm and a height of 14 cm, what is its area?

Back

The area is 70 cm², calculated as Area = 1/2 * 10 cm * 14 cm.

Front

What units are used to measure the area of a triangle?

Back

Area is measured in square units, such as square centimeters (cm²), square meters (m²), square feet (ft²), etc.

Front

How does changing the height of a triangle affect its area?

Back

Increasing the height of a triangle while keeping the base constant will increase the area, while decreasing the height will decrease the area.

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 6 mm and a height of 4 mm?

Back

The area is 12 mm², calculated as Area = 1/2 * 6 mm * 4 mm.

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 8 km and a height of 2 km?

Back

The area is 8 km², calculated as Area = 1/2 * 8 km * 2 km.

Front

What is the significance of the base and height in calculating the area of a triangle?

Back

The base and height are perpendicular to each other; the base is one side of the triangle, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

Front

Can the area of a triangle be negative?

Back

No, the area of a triangle cannot be negative; it is always a non-negative value.

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 5 in and a height of 6 in?

Back

The area is 15 in², calculated as Area = 1/2 * 5 in * 6 in.

Front

If a triangle has an area of 46.2 ft², what could be its base and height?

Back

There are multiple combinations of base and height that can yield an area of 46.2 ft², such as base = 12 ft and height = 7.7 ft.
