Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base × height.

Front

If the base of a triangle is 10 cm and the height is 5 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = 1/2 × 10 cm × 5 cm = 25 cm².

Front

What is the difference between area and perimeter?

Back

Area measures the space inside a shape, while perimeter measures the distance around a shape.

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 8 cm and a height of 7 cm?

Back

Area = 8 cm × 7 cm = 56 cm².

Front

If a triangle has an area of 28 cm² and a base of 7 cm, what is the height?

Back

Height = (Area × 2) / base = (28 cm² × 2) / 7 cm = 8 cm.
