A rectangle shows a length labeled 6 centimeters and a width labeled 3 centimeters.
Jacinda draws a rectangle with measurements 6 cm and 3 cm. What is the area of the rectangle in square centimeters?
? cm2
The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is length x width.
In this case:
Length = 6 cm
Width = 3 cm
Area = 6 cm x 3 cm = 18 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 18 square centimeters.
A traffic sign is in the shape of a square with each side equal to 20 inches. What is the area of the sign in square inches?
__ in.^2
The formula to calculate the area of a square is side x side.
In this case:
Side = 20 inches
Area = 20 inches x 20 inches = 400 square inches
Therefore, the area of the square traffic sign is 400 square inches.
Students in a summer art class paint a rectangular mural. The shorter side of the mural measures 5 yards. The longer side measures 3 yards longer than the shorter side. How many square yards is the mural's area?
? square yards
Let's say the shorter side of the mural is 5 yards.
Then, the longer side would be 5 yards + 3 yards = 8 yards.
The area of a rectangle is length x width.
So, the area of the mural is:
5 yards x 8 yards = 40 square yards.
Therefore, the area of the mural is 40 square yards.
An illustration shows an obtuse triangle with a base of 9 centimeters. The perpendicular height on the right is marked by a dashed line drawn from the top vertex to an extended dashed line from the base labeled as 7 centimeters. A right angle symbol is shown where the base and height meet at the dashed lines.
What is the area in square centimeters of the triangle pictured here?
? cm^2
The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is 0.5 x base x height.
In this case:
Base = 9 cm
Height = 7 cm
Area = 0.5 x 9 cm x 7 cm = 31.5 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 31.5 square centimeters.
Farah cuts a sheet of paper into the shape of a triangle. The triangle has a height of 6 inches and a base of 7 inches. What is the area of the triangle in square inches?
? in.^2
The area of a triangle is given by the formula: 0.5 x base x height.
In this case:
Base = 7 inches
Height = 6 inches
Area = 0.5 x 7 inches x 6 inches
Area = 0.5 x 42 square inches
Area = 21 square inches
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 21 square inches.
