Area Of A Triangle Worksheets

Triangles are shapes with three sides, and we can find the space inside them by calculating their area.

To do this, we will use a simple formula:

Area = (base × height) ÷ 2

The “base” is the bottom side of the triangle, and the “height” is the distance from the top point straight down to the base. We multiply the base and the height together and then divide the result by 2 to find the area.

Now let’s look at the worksheet. You’ll see different triangles with their base and height measurements provided. For each triangle, you need to use the formula to find the area.

Here’s an example:

Triangle 1: Base = 4 units Height = 3 units

To find the area, we’ll use the formula:

Area = (base × height) ÷ 2 Area = (4 × 3) ÷ 2 Area = 12 ÷ 2 Area = 6 square units

So the area of Triangle 1 is 6 square units.
