Area Of A Triangle

Front

What is the formula to find the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle is found using the formula: \( \text{Area} = \frac{\text{base} \times \text{height}}{2} \)

Front

If the base of a triangle is 10 units and the height is 12 units, what is the area?

Back

The area is \( \frac{10 \times 12}{2} = 60 \) square units.

Front

What does the term 'base' refer to in the context of a triangle?

Back

The base of a triangle is any one of its sides, typically the one on which the triangle is considered to be standing.

Front

What does the term 'height' refer to in the context of a triangle?

Back

The height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a triangle with a base of 8 cm and a height of 5 cm?

Back

Area = \( \frac{8 \times 5}{2} = 20 \) cm².

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches?

Back

Area = \( \frac{6 \times 4}{2} = 12 \) in².

Front

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

Back

Height = \( \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{base}} = \frac{2 \times 30}{10} = 6 \) meters.

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 12 feet and a height of 10 feet?

Back

Area = \( \frac{12 \times 10}{2} = 60 \) ft².

Front

What is the unit of measurement for area?

Back

The unit of measurement for area is square units, such as square inches (in²), square feet (ft²), or square meters (m²).

Front

If a triangle has a base of 15 cm and a height of 8 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = \( \frac{15 \times 8}{2} = 60 \) cm².
