3.5 - Working with Formulas

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = (1/2) * base * height.

Front

How do you find the base of a triangle if you know the area and height?

Back

To find the base, rearrange the area formula: base = (2 * Area) / height.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length * width.

Front

How do you find the length of a rectangle if you know the area and width?

Back

To find the length, rearrange the area formula: length = Area / width.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed is calculated using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

How do you find the area of a triangle with a given base and height?

Back

Use the formula: Area = (1/2) * base * height.

Front

What is the relationship between area, length, and width in a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is directly proportional to its length and width: Area = length * width.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a rectangle with given dimensions?

Back

Multiply the length by the width: Area = length * width.

Front

What units are used to measure area?

Back

Area is typically measured in square units, such as square inches (in²), square meters (m²), or square centimeters (cm²).

Front

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

Back

The height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex, and it is essential for accurately calculating the area.
