March 12th, 2012, Aim: How do we calculate the area of rectangles and triangles ???

To find the area of triangles you need to multiply the base and height and divide it by 2.

Like This --->

   
 
The area of a triangle is one half its base times its height.


To find the area of rectangles you need to multiply the length(height) and width.

Like This --->

 

 

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLE OF AREAS OF TRIANGLES !!!!

 







     9*4 = AREA = 36
  • HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF AREAS OF RECTANGLES!!!!                                      
     9*4 = AREA = 36
                 Now You Try It !                                                              (1) If the base of a triangle is 12 and the height of the triangle is 6 what is the area?                                                                                                            (2) If the length of a rectangle is 15 and the width is 3 what is the area ?
