What does 'base' refer to 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 does 'height' refer to in a triangle?

Back

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

Front

If the base of a triangle is doubled and the height remains the same, how does the area change?

Back

The area will also double because area is directly proportional to the base.

Front

If the height of a triangle is halved and the base remains the same, how does the area change?

Back

The area will be halved because area is directly proportional to the height.
