Area is measured in squared units and a triangle can be shown as the equivalent of half a square. This is why the triangles base and height is divided by 2.
Proof for triangle as the equivalent of half a square: Internal angle measurement of a triangle is 180 degrees. Internal angle measurement of a square is 360 degrees. Note: the above proof may not be true pertaining to non-Euclidean geometry.
divide the pentagon into 5 equilateral triangles, and calculate their area. (base times height divided by 2) and when you have your answer, multiply it by 5.
1/2*base*height or multiple the base and the height then divide by 2 hope this helped ;]
the base is a 2-d square with joined triangles, meeting together to make a corner at the top, the triangles height can be any height, or the square can be any size
base times height divide by 2
base times height. take that awnser and divide it by 2. bxh 2
The formula is A=1/2bh b=base of triangle h=height of triangle A=area 1/2=divide base times height by 2
divide the pentagon into 5 equilateral triangles, and calculate their area. (base times height divided by 2) and when you have your answer, multiply it by 5.
area =1/2 base length x height
Find the length of the base and the perpendicular height. Multiply together. Divide answer by 2. Area of Triangle = ½(Base x Perpendicular Height) For right angled triangles, take the length of the two shortest sides, multiply them together and divide the answer by two.
So the base is 25 meters squared, that leaves 60 for the triangles. the equation for triangles is base x height x 1/2 5 times 6 is 30 divide by 2 is 15 times 4 is 60. the answer is 6
A=1/2 base x height
area = 1/2 base x height
No, a triangles area is calculated from base x height / 2
Only if the two triangles have the same base and height then they have the same area, because an area of a triangle OS the base times the height divided by two.
Not necessarily. You find the area of a triangle with the formula 1/2*base*height=Area. Imagine two triangles, one with 3 inches for both the base and height, and one with 4.5 inches for the height and 2 inches for the base. Both of these triangles will have 9 sq. in. for their areas, but they are not congruent.
1/2*base*height or multiple the base and the height then divide by 2 hope this helped ;]
You multiply the height and base then divide by 2.
