Height(h)- the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

A = B X Heg.



2. use protractor like so:



________________________________________________________________
measure the diference from:
A to B
B to C
E to F
F to G
I to J
J to K
they all are 8.9 cm.
_________________________
identify any parallel lines you can find.
what d0 you notice about parallel lines? they always are the same distance apart no metter where you measure, as long as you measure a perpedicular line.
identify any perpendicular line segments.
AE __ DF , FE __ AI , BF __ EG , CG __ FH
What do you notice about perpendicular line segments? they all meet at 60° angles.
