100
What is the equation to determine the area for this shape?
3 x 3 = 9 sq. units
100
Use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY to find the total area of this rectangle.
3 x 9 = (3 x 4) + (3 x 5)
27 = 12 + 15
Area = 27 sq. cm.
100
(3 x 5) + (3 x 1)
Area = 18 square units
200
What expression could be used to find the area of this figure?
6 x 2
200
Use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY to find the total area of this rectangle.
10 x 4 = (4 x 4) + (6 x 4)
40 = 16 + 24
Area = 40 sq. cm.
200
What is the area of the above shape?
8 - 6 = 2 cm
(6 x 4) + (5 x 2)
24 + 10
= 34 sq. cm.
300
What is the equation to determine the area of this shape?
5 x 5 = 25 sq. units
300
Use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY to determine the total are of the rectangle.
10 x 5 = (5 x 4) + (6 x 5)
50 = 20 + 30
Area = 50 sq. cm.
300
Determine the TOTAL AREA of the irregular shape in square units.
(2 x 5) + (3 x 4)
10 + 12
Area = 22 square units
400
What is the area of this square?
4 x 4 = 16 sq. cm.
400
Which of the following shows one day to use the Distributive Property to find 6 x 4?
A. (6 x 2) + (6 x 2)
B. (3 x 2) + (3 x 2)
C. (6 x 4) + (6 x 4)
D. (3 x 2) + (2 x 2)
A. (6 x 2) + (6 x 2)
400
Determine the TOTAL AREA of the irregular shape in square centimeters.
(10 x 5) + (6 x 2)
50 + 12
Area = 62 square centimeters
500
What is the area of this rectangle?
8 x 3 = 24 sq. cm.
500
_____ X ______ = (__ x __) + (__x__)
2 x 6 = (2 x 3 ) + (2 x 3)
500
Determine the TOTAL AREA of the irregular shape.
Area = 59 sq. cm.
