standard_description: Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
problem_activity: Explain why
$${\frac{1}{2}ab\mathrm{sin}(C)}$$
gives the area of a triangle with sides
$$a$$
and
$$b$$
and included angle
$$C$$
.
