Area of a Triangle (assessment)

This example can be used for assessment tasks with graphical input. The input variables have to be generated by the course system (e.g randomly). The output variables must be binded to the course system's answer method. Additional Elements can be displayed, e. g. if the solution is correct or for additional help. If you change elements within the board, you will find the result below.

Question: Area of a Triangle

Change the position of points \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) so that triangle \(ABC\) has an area of \(\{area\}\) \(cm^2\). Note the specified unit.

Result
