Exercise 2 Page 410

What must be known to use the formula for the area of a triangle?

A= 12bh and the Ruler Postulate

Practice makes perfect

To calculate the area of a triangle, we can use the following formula.

A= 12bh Since b is the base of the triangle and h is the height, we must know those values. Consider the triangle shown.

To calculate the length of the base b and the height of the triangle h, we can use the Ruler Postulate. Once b and h have both been found, we can calculate the area using the above formula.
