Answer:

a. base = 5 units; height = 4 units

b. base = 1 unit; height = 4 units

c. base = 1 unit; height = 4 units

Explanation:

a. Count the bottom which is the base, which is 5, the height, or h would be the units or squares up which would be 4.

b. Count the only 1 on the bottom which then, base would be 1 because there is only one on the bottom, the rest is going diagonally so it doesn't count as the base. The height would be 4 because there are 4 units up.

c. Again, only 1 unit on the bottom so the base is one again, and 4 as the height again because of how much units high it is.

The only difference from b. to c. is that c. is having a different angle than b, but they are both the same!

I hope this helps!
