Technical Terms
• Area – refers to the size of the
surface.
• Triangle – polygon having three sides.
• Isosceles – triangle having two equal
sides
• Equilateral – triangle having all sides
equal.
• Right triangle – having a right angle
• Scalene – none of its side are equal

 TRIANGLES
• The surface area or surface (A) of
a triangle is calculated by the
formula:
• A (triangle) = 0.5 x base x height
• = 0.5 x b x h
• Triangles can have many shapes
but the same formula is used for
all of them.
Example:
• Calculate the surface area of the triangles no. 1,
and no. 2
• Given Answer
• Triangles no. 1 and no. 1 a: base = 3 cm
• height = 2 cm
• Formula: A = 0.5 x base x height
• = 0.5 x 3 cm x 2 cm = 3 cm2
• Triangle no. 2: base =3 cm
• height = 2 cm
• A = 0.5 x 3 cm x 2 cm = 3 cm2
