Area and perimeter of triangle Flashcards
How is the area of a Rectangle and Triangle related
The area of a triangle is half the area of a rectangle
How do find the perimeter of a triangle?
We add the 3 sides of the triangle
7 cm + 24 cm + 25 cm = 56 cm
If we take 12 cm as the height of the triangle, what is the lenth of the base?
It is 26 cm
Any part that is dotted is not part of the side of the triangle
It is drawn to connect the height to the base
How do we find the area of the triangle
We multiply the base and the height
then divide by 2 or multiply by half
(12 cm * 26 cm)/2 = 156 cm2
0.5 * 12 * 26 = 156 cm2
What is the area of the triangle
0.5 * 11 cm * 5 cm = 27.5 cm2
What is the area of the triangle
0.5 * 6 cm * 8 cm = 24 cm2
What is the perimeter of the triangle?
6 cm + 8 cm + 10 cm = 24 cm
What is the area of the triangle
0.5 * 6 cm * 16 cm = 48 cm2
What is the area of the triangle
0.5 * 3 cm * 10 cm = 15 cm2
What is the area of the triangle?
0.5 * 24 cm * 4 cm = 48 cm2
What is the perimeter of the triangle
14 cm + 10 cm + 24 cm = 48 cm
