Use Area to Solve Problems Practice
1. A rectangular garden has a length of 12 feet and a width of 8 feet. What is the area of the garden?
Area = length x width
Area = 12 feet x 8 feet
Area = 96 square feet
2. A circular swimming pool has a radius of 5 meters. What is the area of the pool?
Area = π x radius^2
Area = π x 5 meters x 5 meters
Area ≈ 78.54 square meters
3. A triangular piece of land has a base of 10 meters and a height of 8 meters. What is the area of the land?
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 10 meters x 8 meters
Area = 40 square meters
4. A trapezoid has bases of 6 meters and 10 meters, and a height of 4 meters. What is the area of the trapezoid?
Area = 1/2 x (base1 + base2) x height
Area = 1/2 x (6 meters + 10 meters) x 4 meters
Area = 32 square meters
5. A square room has sides of 12 feet. What is the area of the room?
Area = side x side
Area = 12 feet x 12 feet
Area = 144 square feet
