Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height = ½ × 14 × 9 = 63 square cm.
2. Which sentence best demonstrates precise word choice?
Specific nouns (golden retriever, toddlers) and precise verbs (nuzzled) create a vivid, clear image.
3. A passage says: 'Although she had studied all night, Maya still felt unprepared for the test.' What does 'although' signal?

4. Two triangles are similar. The sides of the smaller triangle are 3, 4, and 5. If the longest side of the larger triangle is 15, what is the scale factor?
The scale factor is 15 ÷ 5 = 3, meaning each side of the larger triangle is 3 times the corresponding side of the smaller triangle.
