Geometry Concepts and Formulas

This video tutorial covers the measurement of geometric shapes on a coordinate plane. It begins with finding the area and perimeter of a triangle using base and height, and the Pythagorean theorem for diagonal sides. The lesson progresses to graphing and classifying quadrilaterals, focusing on parallelograms and rhombuses. Finally, it explores trapezoids, detailing how to calculate their area and perimeter, and distinguishing between isosceles and regular trapezoids.

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

• Base divided by height

• Base times height

• Base plus height

• Half of base times height

How do you determine the height in the area formula of a triangle?

• It is the longest side of the triangle

• It is the sum of all sides

• It is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex

• It is the distance between any two vertices
