Feedback on the area of traingle WB Pg 133

Dear all,

Maths WB Pg 133
some of you are confused as to how to name the base and the height. Please take note: If I have a right-angled triangle ABC, the base will be named AC, the height will be AB ( referring to WB Pg 133, Q1).

If it is an obtuse triangle, remember we need to extend the base in order to find the height? We do not name the extension part of the base. (refer to Question 1c, WB Pg 133)
The base will be UT, not UW.

We do not name the base as U and T.

Please complete the exercise on  TB Pg 135- 136, Pg 143-144  in pencil in the TB.

On sponge Pg 150 - 152 - The base and height to be written directly below the diagrams, indicating the base first.
e.g
Base = _________cm
Height = _________cm
