Family practice

A triangle is half of a related parallelogram.

Optional until a teacher marks it

Find the area of the triangle.

Stopping before dividing counts the parallelogram. The height is perpendicular to the base. A slanted side is a length of the boundary, not the height, unless the figure is a rectangle.

Problem 1 of 8. What we learned, an example, a few together, then independent practice.
