1. Solve Exercise 1 - Math Grade 5 Pages 88, 89
Problem:
Calculate the area of a triangle with a base length of a and a height of h:
a) a = 30.5 dm and h = 12dm
b) a = 16dm and h = 5.3 m.
Solution Method:
Students apply the formula: S = 1/2.a.h (where: a is the length of the base, h is the height), substitute numbers into the formula, carefully calculate to find the result.
2. Solve Exercise 2 - Solve Math Grade 5 Practice Pages 88, 89
Solution Method:
- Determine the base of the triangle: One of the 3 sides of the triangle
- Determine the altitude of the triangle: The altitude of the triangle is the length of the perpendicular from the vertex to the base.
Answer:
3. Solve Exercise 3 - Solve Math Grade 5 Practice Pages 88, 89
Solution Method:
Answer:
Area of triangle ABC = (3 x 4) : 2 = 6 (cm2)
Area of triangle DEG = (3 x 5) : 2 = 7.5 (cm2).
4. Solve Exercise 4 - Solve Math Grade 5 Area of Triangle Practice Pages 88, 89
Solution Method:
Students observe the diagrams and determine the height, base of each triangle, then apply the formula to calculate the area of the triangle: S = (a x h) : 2 => Stated verbally: The area of the triangle equals the length of the base multiplied by the height, then divided by 2.
Answer:
a) AB = DC = 4cm, BC = AD = 3cm
The area of triangle ABC is:
AB x BC : 2 = (4 x 3) : 2 = 122 = 6 (cm2)
b) ME = 1cm, EN = 3cm, MQ = 3cm
The area of triangle MQE is:
3 x 1 : 2 = 1.5 (cm2)
The area of triangle NEP is:
3 x 3 : 2 = 4.5 (cm2)
The total area of triangles AQE and NEP is:
4.5 + 1.5 = 6 (cm2)
The area of triangle EQP is:
3 x 4 - 6 = 6 (cm2)
Or 3 x 4 : 2 = 6 (cm2)
