Master in Area & perimeter

What is the area of the shape below?

• 33 cm²

• 70 cm²

• 70 cm

• 38cm

• 48 cm²

Answer explanation

The area of the rectangle is 5 × 12 = 60 cm².

The triangle has a base with a length of 22 − 12 = 10 cm and a height of 5 − 3 = 2 cm.

So the area of the triangle is

= 1/2 x base X height

= 1/2×10x2 = 10 cm².

So the total area of the shape is 60 + 10 = 70 cm².

Two rectangular fields each measure 100 m by 72 m. There is a tree for every 6 m² of land in the fields.

How many trees are there altogether?

• 172

• 7200

• 1200 

• 400 

• 2400 

Answer explanation

The area of each field is 100 × 72 = 7200 m². Divide by the amount of space each tree needs to find the number of trees in one field: 7200 ÷ 6 = 1200 trees.

There are two fields, so there are 1200 × 2 = 2400 trees altogether.
