Slide 14

Standard and Essential Question MCC6.G.1: Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles and decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. How are areas of geometric figures related to each other?

Slide 15

What about triangles? Area of Square/RectangleArea of Triangle 9 units4.5 units 12 units6 units 14 units 16 units What pattern do you notice?

Slide 16

Types of Triangles By Sides: Isosceles: a triangle that has 2 equal sides Scalene: a triangle that has no equal sides Equilateral: a triangle that has 3 equal sides By Angles: Right: a triangle with one right angle Acute: a triangle with only acute angles Obtuse: a triangle with one obtuse angle

Slide 17

Other Important Terms Height of a triangle: The perpendicular distance from the base to the highest vertex. It can be measured outside the triangle! It can be measured inside the triangle!

Slide 18

Does the area change depending on the type of triangle? Use the link below to determine whether the area formula of a triangle changes depending on the type of triangle. http://www.geogebra.org/en/upload/files/english/Vic toria/TriangleArea.html http://www.geogebra.org/en/upload/files/english/Vic toria/TriangleArea.html
