Identifying base & height

Front

What is the height of a triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is the base of a triangle?

Back

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

Front

Identify the height of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and an area of 60 cm².

Back

Height = (2 * Area) / Base = (2 * 60) / 10 = 12 cm.

Front

Identify the base of a triangle with a height of 8 cm and an area of 36 cm².

Back

Base = (2 * Area) / Height = (2 * 36) / 8 = 9 cm.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (Base * Height) / 2.

Front

If the base of a triangle is 5 cm and the height is 4 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = (5 * 4) / 2 = 10 cm².

Front

What units are used to measure height and base in geometry?

Back

Height and base are typically measured in centimeters (cm), meters (m), or inches (in).

Front

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

Back

Height = (2 * Area) / Base.

Front

What is the relationship between base and height in a triangle?

Back

The base and height are used together to calculate the area of the triangle.

Front

Identify the height of a triangle with a base of 7 cm and an area of 21 cm².

Back

Height = (2 * Area) / Base = (2 * 21) / 7 = 6 cm.
