What do we mean by 'base' in a triangle?

Back

The base of a triangle is any one of its sides, typically the one on which the triangle is considered to be standing.

Front

What is 'height' in the context of a triangle?

Back

The height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

How do you find the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm?

Back

Area = 1/2 × base × height = 1/2 × 10 cm × 5 cm = 25 cm².

What is the relationship between the area of a triangle and its height?

Back

The area of a triangle is directly proportional to its height; if the height increases while the base remains constant, the area increases.
