How does changing one dimension affect the area of a figure?
If you double just the base or the height of a rectangle, what do you think will happen to the area?

If you double just the base or the height of a triangle, what do you think will happen to the area?

If you change the side length of a square or the radius of a circle, how will the area change?

Does changing just base or height affect area the same as changing a side in a square or radius in a circle?
