Area of a Triangle and a Parallelogram by Transformations
This applet shows the relationship between the area of triangles and parallelograms.
1. What transformation occurred to create the parallelogram after moving the slider?
2. How does the area of the triangle compare to the area of the parallelogram created?
3. What is the area of the parallelogram if the base is 4 units and the height is 6 units?
4. What is the area of a triangle with a base of 3 units and a height of 5 units?
