There are a bunch of triangles. They all have one side that is 10 centimeters (cm) long, which we will consider as the base of the triangle.

The triangles each have a different height (measured from the 10-cm base) and so have different areas. Fill in the table:

There are a bunch of triangles. They all have one side that is 10 centimeters (cm) long, which we will consider as the base of the triangle.

Plot the ordered pairs from the table in the coordinate plane and label them with their coordinates.

Where can you see the answers from the table in the coordinate plane?

If A represents the area and h represents the corresponding height, write an equation using A and h that represents the area of any such triangle.
