Math Problem Statement

Find the area of a triangle if it's base is (3x-2y) and height is 4z.

Solution

The area AA of a triangle can be found using the formula:

A=12×base×heightA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

Given the base as (3x2y)(3x - 2y) and the height as 4z4z, we substitute these values into the formula:

A=12×(3x2y)×4zA = \frac{1}{2} \times (3x - 2y) \times 4z

Simplifying the expression:

A=2×(3x2y)×zA = 2 \times (3x - 2y) \times z

A=6xz4yzA = 6xz - 4yz

Thus, the area of the triangle is:

A=6xz4yzA = 6xz - 4yz

Here are 5 related questions to expand this concept:

  1. How would the area change if the base were doubled?
  2. Can you find the perimeter of a triangle if given the lengths of all three sides?
  3. How does changing the height to 5z5z affect the area?
  4. What happens to the area if both base and height are tripled?
  5. How would you calculate the area if the base were (x+y)(x + y) instead?

Tip: Always remember that the area formula for triangles is applicable for any shape of triangle, whether it's right, scalene, or isosceles.
