Calculating Areas of Shapes

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a composite figure consisting of a rectangle and a triangle. It begins by identifying the two shapes and calculating the area of the rectangle using the formula length times width. Next, it calculates the area of the triangle using the formula half base times height. Finally, it adds the areas of both shapes to find the total area of the figure.

What are the two shapes whose areas need to be calculated in the given figure?

• Square and Rectangle

• Rectangle and Triangle

• Circle and Square

• Triangle and Circle

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

• Length times Width

• Base times Height

• Half Base times Height

• Length plus Width

What are the dimensions of the rectangle in the problem?

• Length: 14 cm, Width: 5 cm

• Length: 14 cm, Width: 6 cm

• Length: 12 cm, Width: 6 cm

• Length: 10 cm, Width: 5 cm

How is the base of the triangle determined in this problem?

• It is twice the width of the rectangle

• It is the same as the length of the rectangle

• It is half the length of the rectangle

• It is the same as the width of the rectangle

What is the formula used to calculate the area of a triangle?

• Length times Width

• Base plus Height

• Base times Height

• Half Base times Height

What is the total area of the figure after adding the areas of the rectangle and the triangle?

• 84 cm squared

• 100 cm squared

• 91 cm squared

• 70 cm squared
