basic concepts area and perimeter
The perimeter of a triangle is the measure around the triangle = a + b + c
To find the area of a triangle: The height = the perpendicular distance from the opposite vertex to the base
To find the area of a triangle: The height = the perpendicular distance from the opposite vertex to the base
The area of this rectangle is height x base To find the area of a triangle: The height = the perpendicular distance from the opposite vertex to the base
The area of this rectangle is height x base The area of the triangle is ½ the area of the rectangle To find the area of a triangle: The height = the perpendicular distance from the opposite vertex to the base
The area of this rectangle is height x base The area of the triangle is ½ the area of the rectangle h Area of triangle = ½ h b b To find the area of a triangle: The height = the perpendicular distance from the opposite vertex to the base
area = ½ ( 4 )( 7 ) = 14 square units area = ½ ( 3 )( 6 ) = 9 square units area = ½ ( h )( b ) area = ½ ( 5 )( 9 ) = 22 ½ square units
