100

Find the area of this shape.

9 squared units 

100

True or false. A rectangle has only one set of congruent sides.

False, rectangles have 2 sets of congruent sides. 

100

True or false. When we find the area of rectilinear shapes, we have to find 2 smaller rectangles within the big shape?

True

200

Why do we have to use squared units when finding the area of a shape?

Because the shapes can be broken into the square units, like the little squares that we used to find the area.

What is the area of a rectangle that has a length of 10 units and a width of 2 units?

20 squared units

200

What is the area of this rectilinear shape?

26 cm2

300

How many squared units are in this shape?

10 squared units

300

What is the area of a square that has a side length of 6?

36 squared units. Remember that even though only one side is given to you, a square's sides are all equal so it would have a length of 6 and a width of 6.

What is the area of this rectilinear shape?

90 cm2

400

What is the shortened way to write squared units?

u2

What is the area of a shape that has a length of 7 units and a width of 5 units?

35 squared units

400

True or False. To find the area of the whole rectilinear shape, we add all of the numbers that we see for the shape.

False. We only multiply the length and width then we add the areas of the small rectangles to get the area of the whole shape.
