Edsc 304 Guided Notes

This document provides guidance on calculating the areas of rectangles and triangles. It defines area as the amount of square units contained within a shape's surface. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying one-half the base by the height. The height of a triangle is always perpendicular to the base and may change if the base changes. Practice problems are provided to calculate areas of various rectangles and triangles.
