Question 1.
What is the effect on the area of a triangle if the base is doubled and the height is cut in half? What happens to the area, if the base is doubled and the height remains the same?
Now let’s assume that we have a triangle with base a and height h. The area of this triangle would be S = ½*a*h. If the base is doubled and the height is cut in half, we will have new base = 2a and new height = h/2. Therefore, the new area would be S=½*2a*h/2 = ½*a*h. We may conclude that the area of ...
