Exploring Area of Triangles

What is the formula for calculating the area of a right triangle?

• Area = (1/2) * base * height

• Area = base * height

• Area = base + height

• Area = (base + height) / 2

If a right triangle has a base of 6 cm and a height of 4 cm, what is its area?

• 24 cm^2

• 10 cm^2

• 20 cm^2

• 12 cm^2

How do you find the area of a triangle that is not a right triangle?

• Use the same formula as for a right triangle

• Use a different formula

• Only use the base for calculation

• Calculate the perimeter instead

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 5 and 1/5 feet and a height of 3 and 1/2 feet?

• 9 and 1/10 feet squared

• 17 feet squared

• 8 and 1/2 feet squared

• 18 and 2/5 feet squared

When given the area and height of a triangle, how can you find the missing base?

• Divide the area by the height

• Use the area formula in reverse

• Multiply the area by the height

• Subtract the height from the area

If a triangle's area is 24.8 cm^2 and its height is 6.2 cm, what is the base?

• 8 cm

• 4 cm

• 12 cm

• 16 cm

What should you do if you have questions about the practice problems?

• Ask the teacher as soon as possible

• Check the answers on Google Classroom

• Skip the difficult problems

• Wait until the next class

Where can you find the answers to the notes and practice work?

• On Google Classroom

• In a separate handout

• In the textbook

• At the end of the video

Why is it important to do the work sooner rather than later?

• To impress the teacher

• To have more free time later

• Because the answers will be removed

• To identify areas of difficulty early

What is the next step after learning the area formula for triangles?

• Memorizing the formula

• Practicing problems

• Learning a different formula

• Teaching someone else
