The Area of a Triangle

Every triangle is half of a parallelogram. We know the formula to find the area of a parallelogram is base times height. So the formula of a triangle is half of the area of a parallelogram . The formula of the area of a triangle is base times height divided by two.

The height of a triangle has a perpendicular line from the base to the opposite angle.

Annie has asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.
1.7 +6÷ 2
1.7+3 since 6÷ 2= 3
1.7+3=4.7


2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible. What problem strategy did you use?

3 x 2.8 + (6.4 ÷ 4)=10


3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression.

2.5 + 1.25 + (5 x 1.6)=11.75
