    • Base: 4.2 cm
    • Height: 2.8 cm
  • Third Triangle:
    • Base: 5.3 cm
    • Height: 4.1 cm

Formula to use: Area of a triangle = 12×Base×Height\frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}

Question 3

Q3: Find the area of each of the triangles shown below. Each base and height is measured in decimal places.

  • First Triangle:
    • Base: 6.7 cm

    • Base: 5.1 cm
    • Height: 2.5 cm
  • Third Triangle:
    • Base: 8.6 cm
    • Height: 4.5 cm

Formula to use: Area of a triangle = 12×Base×Height\frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}

Question 4

Q4: Find the area of each of the triangles below in square units. Find the missing area by using either 12×base×height\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} or Area=absin(C)2\text{Area} = \frac{ab \sin(C)}{2}.

  • First Triangle:
    • Side a: 6.3 cm
    • Side b: 9.2 cm
    • Angle C: 51°
  • Second Triangle:
    • Side a: 8.1 cm
    • Side b: 10.4 cm
    • Angle C: 37°

    • First Triangle: Area = 12×2.9×1.5\frac{1}{2} \times 2.9 \times 1.5 cm²
    • Second Triangle: Area = 12×4.2×2.8\frac{1}{2} \times 4.2 \times 2.8 cm²
    • Third Triangle: Area = 12×5.3×4.1\frac{1}{2} \times 5.3 \times 4.1 cm²
  2. Q3 - Area Calculations:

    • First Triangle: Area = 12×6.7×3.4\frac{1}{2} \times 6.7 \times 3.4 cm²
    • Second Triangle: Area = 12×5.1×2.5\frac{1}{2} \times 5.1 \times 2.5 cm²
    • Third Triangle: Area = 12×8.6×4.5\frac{1}{2} \times 8.6 \times 4.5 cm²
  3. Q4 - Area Calculations using Trigonometric Formula:

    • First Triangle: Area = 12×6.3×9.2×sin(51)\frac{1}{2} \times 6.3 \times 9.2 \times \sin(51^\circ)
    • Second Triangle: Area = 12×8.1×10.4×sin(37)\frac{1}{2} \times 8.1 \times 10.4 \times \sin(37^\circ)
