This math topic focuses on calculating the area of right triangles. It includes problems that involve identifying the correct area from multiple-choice answers. The calculated areas are presented in a variety of units such as feet, meters, centimeters, and inches. Students not only learn how to compute the area of right triangles using the formula \( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \), but they can also apply their analytical skills to choose the correct option from given possibilities. Each question features a visual aid to help in the calculation process.
