Area of Non-Right Angled Triangles WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade

CCSS: 6.G.A.1

CCSS Description: Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

Area of Non-Right Angled Triangles WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

In section A and B, Learners will calculate the area of various non-right angled triangles either on a cm square grid or from given dimensions.Students are encouraged to find the area of two rectangles each triangle fits within first and halving to get the area of each triangle.

Learners are tasked with drawing two different non-right angled triangles with an area of 15 cm^2 on a cm square grid in section C.

In section D, students will have to measure the correct length of a triangle in order to calculate its area.

Section E, is made up of three different problems including finding the area of a compound shape.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should start by identifying two rectangles that each triangle can fit within, then calculate the area of those rectangles. Once they have the rectangle areas, they can divide by two to find the area of each triangle, since a triangle takes up exactly half the space of its surrounding rectangle.
