Triangle - Base and Height

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

• Area = base * height

• Area = 1/2 * base * height

• Area = base + height

• Area = base - height

What is the significance of matching triangles to diagrams in geometry?

• It helps in understanding the properties and relationships of different types of triangles.

• It is used to calculate the area of triangles.

• It allows for the identification of similar triangles only.

• It simplifies the process of drawing triangles accurately.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

• In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

• The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

• The area of a triangle is calculated as half the base times the height.

• In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is always the longest side.

How can you determine if a triangle is isosceles?

• A triangle is isosceles if it has at least two sides of equal length.

• A triangle is isosceles if all three sides are of different lengths.

• A triangle is isosceles if it has one right angle.

• A triangle is isosceles if it has two angles of equal measure.

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

• height = (2 * area) / base

• height = area / (2 * base)

• height = base / area

• height = area * base

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

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

• The base and height are equal in length.

• The base is always longer than the height.

• The base and height determine the color of the triangle.

What are the different types of triangles based on their sides?

• Equilateral, Isosceles, Scalene

• Acute, Right, Obtuse

• Regular, Irregular, Symmetrical

• Scalene, Congruent, Similar

What is the base of a triangle?

• The longest side of the triangle.

• One of its sides, typically the side on which the triangle is considered to be standing.

• The angle opposite to the base.

• The height of the triangle.

What is the height of a triangle?

• The length of the base of the triangle.

• The distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

• The perimeter of the triangle.

• The area of the triangle.

What is a right triangle?

• A triangle with all angles measuring less than 90 degrees.

• A triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

• A triangle with two equal sides and one angle measuring 60 degrees.

• A triangle that has no equal sides and one angle measuring 45 degrees.
