Area of Triangles

The video tutorial explains how to determine the height and base of a triangle, emphasizing that the height must meet the base at a 90-degree angle. It uses a triangle with sides of 9, 6, and 10 inches, identifying the 10-inch side as the base and a 5-inch line as the height. The tutorial then demonstrates calculating the triangle's area using the formula (base * height) / 2, resulting in an area of 25 square inches. The lesson concludes by reinforcing the importance of using square units for area measurements.
