3/12 - How Do We Calculate The Area of Rectangles & Triangles?

• The area of a plane figure is the measure of the region enclosed by the figure you measure.

For you to find the area of a rectangle you just need to know the formula which is: A= B x H, where A stands for Area, B stands for Base and H stands for height.

For you to find the area of a triangle you just need to know the formula which is A= 1/2 B x H where A stands for Area, B for Base and H for Height.

PROBLEM #1: If the area of a rectangle is 34ft square, and the base is 5ft what is the height of the rectangle?

PROBLEM #2: What's the area of a triangle with a height of 25cm and a base of 15cm?
