If a triangle has a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm, what is its area?

Back

The area is calculated as: Area = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 10 cm * 5 cm = 25 cm².

How does changing the height of a triangle affect its area?

Back

Increasing the height of a triangle while keeping the base constant will increase the area, while decreasing the height will decrease the area.

If a triangle has an area of 30 cm² and a base of 10 cm, what is the height?

Back

Using the area formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height, we can rearrange to find height: height = (2 * Area) / base = (2 * 30 cm²) / 10 cm = 6 cm.

What is the relationship between the base and height of a triangle and its area?

Back

The area of a triangle is directly proportional to both the base and the height; if either increases, the area increases.
