Triangle Height Calculation Quiz

The video tutorial explains how to find the height of a triangle given its base and area. It begins by introducing the problem and visualizing the triangle. The instructor then applies the area formula for triangles and demonstrates two methods to solve for the height: one using division and simplification, and another using multiplication. Both methods arrive at the same result, providing students with different strategies to approach similar problems.

What is the base length of the triangle given in the problem?

• 3.4 feet

• 6.3 feet

• 2.5 feet

• 4.0 feet

What is the area of the triangle as mentioned in the problem?

• 7.2 feet squared

• 3.4 feet squared

• 5.0 feet squared

• 6.3 feet squared

Which formula is used to calculate the area of a triangle?

• Base times height

• Base times height divided by two

• Base plus height

• Base minus height

What is the first step in simplifying the equation to find the height?

• Subtract 2

• Divide by 2

• Multiply by 2

• Add 2

After dividing the base by 2, what is the new coefficient of h?

• 0.5

• 1.7

• 3.4

• 2.0

What is the approximate height of the triangle after solving the equation?

• 3.0 feet

• 4.0 feet

• 3.7 feet

• 2.5 feet

In the alternative method, what operation is performed first?

• Subtract 3.4 from both sides

• Add 3.4 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

• Multiply both sides by 2

What is the result of multiplying 6.3 by 2 in the alternative method?

• 9.0

• 3.15

• 6.3

• 12.6

What is the final step in the alternative method to find the height?

• Subtract 3.4

• Divide by 3.4

• Add 3.4

• Multiply by 3.4

What is the key takeaway from the problem-solving strategies discussed?

• There is only one way to solve the problem

• Multiple strategies can lead to the same solution

• The problem cannot be solved

• The base and height are always equal
