Calculating Area of 2D Shapes

This video tutorial covers how to calculate the area of various 2D shapes, including rectangles, squares, triangles, parallelograms, circles, trapeziums, rhombuses, and kites. Each section provides a formula and example calculation, emphasizing the importance of units and the consistency of formulas across different types of shapes.

What is the formula to calculate the area of a rectangle?

• Length / Width

• Width - Length

• Length x Width

• Length + Width

If a square has a side length of 4 cm, what is its area?

• 4 cm²

• 12 cm²

• 8 cm²

• 16 cm²

Which formula is used to calculate the area of any triangle?

• Base x Height

• Base + Height

• 1/2 x Base x Height

• Base - Height

What is required to calculate the area of a parallelogram?

• Height and angle

• Base and side length

• Side lengths only

• Base and perpendicular height

How do you calculate the area of a circle with a radius of 2 cm?

• 2π

• 4π

• π

• 8π

What is the area formula for a trapezium?

• (Base1 + Base2) x Height

• Base1 x Base2 x Height

• 1/2 x (Base1 + Base2) x Height

• (Base1 - Base2) x Height

What distinguishes the area calculation of a trapezium from a parallelogram?

• Only one base is used

• Use of height

• Use of base lengths

• Sum of bases involved

If the diagonals of a rhombus are 2 cm and 6 cm, what is its area?

• 4 cm²

• 12 cm²

• 6 cm²

• 8 cm²

Which statement is true about the sides of a rhombus?

• Only opposite sides are equal

• All sides are equal

• Only adjacent sides are equal

• No sides are equal

What is the area of a kite with lengths 2 cm and 6 cm?

• 8 cm²

• 4 cm²

• 12 cm²

• 6 cm²
