Guidelines to solve Exercise 3 on Pages 88 and 89 of Math 5 Workbook
Solution method:
- Just like the formula for calculating the area of a regular triangle, the formula for calculating the area of a right triangle is: A = (base x height) : 2
Where:
+ base is the length of the base
+ height is the height of the triangle, corresponding to the part projected onto the base.
