This document provides a lesson on calculating the area of acute triangles using the height and base. It explains that the area formula A = 1/2 * base * height can be used to find the area of any triangle, not just right triangles. Several examples are worked through to demonstrate calculating the area of various triangles by identifying the base and height and plugging them into the area formula. Students are provided practice problems to calculate the areas of additional triangles.
