Without using the fact that the area of a triangle is 12bh but instead only using the area of a rectangle l×w, explain why the area of the following triangles is equal to 12bh. Be sure that your expression mathes your moving and additivity story. a) b)

Step 1 a) Area of triangle ABC=12x area of perallelogram ABCD=12x length of one parallel side x distance between these parallel sides =12bh b) Area of triangle ABC=12x area of parallelogram ABCD=12x length of one parallel side x distance between these parallel sides =12bh

Without using the fact that the area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} b h$ but instead only using the area of a rectangle $l \times w$ , explain why the area of the following triangles is equal to $\frac{1}{2} b h$ . Be sure that your expression mathes your moving and additivity story.
a)
