Question

grade 6 unit 1 section c checkpoint 1. identify a base and a height that you can use to find the area of each triangle. (you don’t have to actually find the areas.) label each base with “b.” draw a segment for each height and label it with “h.”

Explanation:

Step1: For the left - hand triangle

We can choose the vertical side as the base. Let's assume the length of the vertical side along the grid lines as the base 'b'. Then, draw a horizontal line from the opposite vertex to the base to get the height 'h'.

Step2: For the right - hand triangle

We can choose the side that is slanting but has endpoints on grid - line intersections as the base 'b'. Then, draw a perpendicular line from the opposite vertex to this base to get the height 'h'.

Since this is a task of identification and drawing, we can't give a numerical answer. But the process of identification is as described above.
