Front

What is the formula for calculating the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Front

What is the formula for calculating the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = 1/2 * (base1 + base2) * height

Front

What is the formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base * height

Front

Back

A shape made up of two or more simple shapes.

Front

How do you find the total area of a composite shape?

Back

Add the areas of all the individual shapes that make up the composite shape.

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 units and a height of 6 units?

Back

Area = 1/2 * 10 * 6 = 30 square units

Front

What is the area of a trapezoid with bases of 8 units and 5 units, and a height of 4 units?

Back

Area = 1/2 * (8 + 5) * 4 = 26 square units

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12 units and a height of 5 units?

Back

Area = 12 * 5 = 60 square units

Front

If a composite shape consists of a triangle with an area of 20 square units and a rectangle with an area of 15 square units, what is the total area?

Back

Total Area = 20 + 15 = 35 square units

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 14 units and a height of 3 units?

Back

Area = 1/2 * 14 * 3 = 21 square units
