Morning Math 43

Draw the following Triangles:
  • Base is 5, Height is 8.  
  • Base is 12, Height is 7
  • Base is 7.5, Height is 9.5

What are the Areas of each?


Bonus: (Worth 10 minutes PAT for the team who figures it out.) What is the perimeter of a right angle triangle that has a base of 3 and a height of 4?  You might want to introduce yourself to Pythagoras, an ancient Greek mathematician who figured out how to calculate the "mystery" side of the triangle.
