Area
What is Area?
Area is the extent or measurement of a surface or 2-dimensional object.
This is the area formula for finding the area of a parallelogram or rectangle.
BC is the base, DC is the height, so if the formula is bxh=area, then the 8x6=area and the Area of ABCD is 48.
Let's say that b=6 and h=2. What would be the area of that figure?
Area of a Triangle
The formula for finding the area of a triangle is (bxh)/2=area.
Let's say now the base of the triangle is 5 and the height is 10, What is the area of the triangle now?
