1. Calculate the area of triangle ABC.[br][br]2. Move point A to any new location along the equation of the line [math]y=5[/math]. Draw your new triangle on your paper and calculate your area.[br][br]3. If you moved Point A to the left, now move it to the right (and vice-versa). Draw your new triangle on your paper and calculate your area.[br][br]4. What did you notice about the area of triangle ABC?[br][br]5. If you move point A to the location (15, 5), what do you think will happen to the area of the triangle? Support your claim with mathematical evidence.[br][br]6. What will happen to the area of triangle ABC if you move point A to the location (x, 5)? Support your claim with mathematical evidence.
