Area of a Right Triangle
In this lesson, we learned how to find the area of a right triangle. By treating it as half of a rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle and multiply it by 1.5 to get the area of the triangle. We also learned that the length and width can be interchanged and that base times height can be an alternative way to find the area.

I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
