Area of Triangles

Front

What is the formula to find the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (Base x Height) / 2

Front

What does 'base' refer to in a triangle?

Back

The base is any side of the triangle on which the height is measured.

Front

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

Back

Height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

Front

If the base of a triangle is 6 cm and the height is 4 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = (6 cm x 4 cm) / 2 = 12 cm²

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm?

Back

Area = (10 cm x 5 cm) / 2 = 25 cm²

Front

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

Back

Increasing the height increases the area, while decreasing the height decreases the area, assuming the base remains constant.

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 8 cm and a height of 3 cm?

Back

Area = (8 cm x 3 cm) / 2 = 12 cm²

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 12 cm and a height of 9 cm?

Back

Area = (12 cm x 9 cm) / 2 = 54 cm²

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 14 cm and a height of 2 cm?

Back

Area = (14 cm x 2 cm) / 2 = 14 cm²

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 15 cm and a height of 6 cm?

Back

Area = (15 cm x 6 cm) / 2 = 45 cm²
