Area of Triangles and Trapezoids Course 2 AF 3.1 Use variables in expressions describing geometric quantities. -Objective :Students will use variables in expressions describing geometric quantities for Areas of triangles and trapezoids by using equation formulas and scoring an 80% proficiency on an exit slip.
Area of Triangles and Trapezoids Course 2 A diagonal of a parallelogram divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles. So the area of each triangle is half the area of the parallelogram. Height Height Base Base The base of a triangle can be any side. The height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.
Area of Triangles and Trapezoids Course 2 AREAOF A TRIANGLE The area A of a triangle is half the product of its base b and its height h. 1 2 bh A = h b
Areas of Triangles and Trapezoids Course 2 Additional Example 1A: Finding the Area of a Triangle Find the area of the triangle. A. 1 2 bh A = Use the formula. 5 1 2 Substitute 8 for b and 5 for h. (8 · 5) A = 8 A = 20 The area of the triangle is 20 square units.
Area of Triangles and Trapezoids Course 2 Additional Example 1B: Finding the area of a Triangle Find the area of the triangle. B. 1 2 Use the formula. A = bh 12 1 2 (9 · 12) A = Substitute 9 for b and 12 for h. 9 A = 54 The area of the triangle is 54 square units.
