Area and Perimeter of Triangles and Parallelograms

This video tutorial covers the calculation of areas for triangles and parallelograms, including cases where the height is outside the triangle. It also briefly touches on finding perimeters. The tutorial provides examples and explains the formulas used, such as base times height for parallelograms and half the base times height for triangles.

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

• Base minus height

• Base times height

• Base divided by height

• Base plus height

In a parallelogram, which side is considered the base?

• The longest side

• The shortest side

• The side opposite the height

• Any of the parallel sides

How do you calculate the area of a parallelogram if the height is outside the shape?

• Use the same base times height formula

• Divide the base by the height

• Subtract the height from the base

• Add the height to the base

What is the perimeter of a triangle with sides 13, 11, and 13?

• 38

• 37

• 24

• 26

How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a parallelogram?

• It is half the area of a parallelogram

• It is double the area of a parallelogram

• It is the same as the area of a parallelogram

• It is unrelated to the area of a parallelogram

Which sides of a right triangle are used to calculate its area?

• The two sides that form the right angle

• The hypotenuse and one other side

• Any two sides

• The longest side and the shortest side

What is the area of a right triangle with base 8 yards and height 15 yards?

• 60 square yards

• 120 square yards

• 30 square yards

• 90 square yards

In a triangle, which line is considered the height?

• The longest line

• The shortest line

• The line perpendicular to the base

• The line parallel to the base

How do you find the area of a triangle with a base of 6 cm and height of 5 cm?

• 10 square cm

• 30 square cm

• 15 square cm

• 20 square cm

What should you do if a triangle is oriented in a way that makes it hard to identify the base and height?

• Use the longest side as the base

• Ignore the orientation

• Use the shortest side as the height

• Rotate the triangle
