Unit rates and equivalent rates

What you'll learn

  • Apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles to solve for the area of at least 8 out of 10 geometric figures presented, including those with non-standard orientations, with at least 80% accuracy.
  • Explain, in writing, the relationship between the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle with the same base and height, providing a clear and concise justification supported by geometric principles.
  • Solve real-world problems involving the area of parallelograms and triangles, accurately calculating the area required for tasks such as determining the amount of material needed for a triangular sail or a parallelogram-shaped garden plot.
  • Identify the base and height of parallelograms and triangles, including those with obtuse angles, and justify the selection of the correct base and height for area calculations in at least 4 out of 5 examples.
