What to Focus On

  • Equal figures mean figures equal in area.
  • Congruent figures are always equal in area, but equal area does not always mean congruence.
  • Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height.

  • Figures between the same parallels have equal altitudes.
  • Equal bases and same parallels lead to strong area comparisons.
  • Same base means the same base segment is used.

  • Theorem 19 compares parallelograms with the same base and same parallels.
  • Triangles ADF and BCE are congruent by ASA in the proof.
  • Congruent triangles are equal in area.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any two figures with equal area must be congruent.

Figures between the same parallels can have any bases, so the area comparison still works even if the bases are not on the same line.

Same base and equal base mean the same thing.
