Area of Triangles and Parallelograms Quiz

Area of Geometric Shapes

• The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is: A = (b × h) / 2, where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.
• The formula to calculate the area of a parallelogram is: A = b × h, where b is the base and h is the height of the parallelogram.
• The formulas for calculating the area of a triangle and a parallelogram are related in that they both use the base and height of the shape, but the triangle's formula is halved.

Slope in Mathematics

• The concept of slope represents the steepness of a line, indicating how quickly it rises or falls.
• Slope is represented in mathematical notation as m, and is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.
• The significance of slope in linear equations is that it determines the direction and steepness of the line, with a positive slope indicating a rising line, a negative slope indicating a falling line, and a slope of zero indicating a horizontal line.
