Triangle Area Practice

Triangle with base and height measurements

📐 Part 1: Formula and Basic Calculations

1. What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle?

Area = base × height

Area = ½ × base × height

Area = 2 × base × height

Area = base + height

2. Calculate the area of a triangle with base = 8 cm and height = 6 cm. Show your working.

Answer: ________ cm²

3. A triangle has a base of 12 cm and height of 5 cm. What is its area?

17 cm²

30 cm²

60 cm²

120 cm²

4. Calculate the area of a triangle with base = 7.5 cm and height = 4.8 cm. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Show your working.

Answer: ________ cm²

📏 Part 2: Measurement and Application

5. Why must the height of a triangle be perpendicular to the base when calculating area?
6. A triangle has a base of 9.2 cm and height of 6.7 cm. Calculate the area and round to the nearest whole number.

Answer: ________ cm²

7. If a triangle has an area of 24 cm² and a base of 8 cm, what is the height?

Height: ________ cm

8. True or False: If the base of a triangle doubles but the height stays the same, the area also doubles.

True

False

Explain your answer: _________________________________________________

🎯 Part 3: Problem Solving

9. A triangular garden bed has a base of 15.5 metres and a height of 8.3 metres. Calculate the area in square metres, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Answer: ________ m²

10. Challenge: A triangle has an area of 45 cm² and a height of 10 cm. If the base is increased by 3 cm, what will be the new area?
