Segments AB and CD are always parallel. Move point E along segment CD. How does this affect the area of the triangle?
Move points A and B to create other triangles of varying areas. Then, in each case, move point E along the parallel segment.
What conjectures can you make? Click to show the altitudes of the triangle. How can you use the altitudes to help prove your conjecture?
