Topic: Area E2.5 – Area of a Triangle

Ontario Curriculum Expectation:

5.E2.5 use the area relationships among rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles to develop the formulas for the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle, and solve related problems.

To find the area of a triangle, we multiply the base times the height, then divide by 2.

The units of area are square units, such as cm² or m².
