Activity 3

Comparing the areas of two triangles on one base

Method
  • Draw a figure in which AB = 8 cm, AE = 6 cm, AE is perpendicular to AB, and EC is parallel to AB. Join EB, AC and BC.
  • Find the area of triangle ABE, using AB as the base and AE as the height.
  • Find the area of triangle ABC, using AB as the base and the distance between the parallel lines as the height.
  • Compare the two areas and write the relation between them.
