The Area and Perimeter of Triangle

To find the perimeter of a triangle, you should know first the lengths of the sides of the triangle because the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of the sides which form the triangle. Look at the figure on the right.

a. How can you calculate the perimeter of ABC which is shown in the figure on the right? Explain. b. What conclusion can you draw? c. Can you formulate the perimeter of ABC?

The Area of Triangle

Look at ABC in the figure on the left. a. Calculate the area of ABC. b. Is there any other way to calculate the area of ABC? c. What conclusion can you draw? The results of the Mini Lab above show that the area of a triangle can be obtained from the area of a rectangle; the area of a rightangled triangle is half of that of a rectangle. Therefore, it can be concluded that:
