What is the formula for the area of a square, rectangle, or parallelogram?

base x height OR length x width

100

What is the area of a triangle with base of 4 ft and a height of 3 ft?

6

100

The area of this composite figure is 99 meters squared because:

The left rectangle has an area of 48 (12x4)

The middle rectangle has an area of 15 (5x3)

The right rectangle has an area of 36 (12x3)

So, 48 + 15 + 36 = 99


100

The volume of this rectangular prism is 2,560cm cubed because:


20 x 8 x 16 = 2560

<A, <B, and <C form a triangle. If angles A and B add up to be 110 degrees, then what is the measure of <C?

70 degrees


180 - 110 = 70

200

What do complementary angles add up to be?

90 degrees

200

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 8 in and a height of 13 in?

104

200

The area of this composite figure is 51.5 feet squared because:

the area of the rectangle is 44 (8 + 3)x 4

the area of the smaller triangles is 3 (3x2 all divided by 2)

the area of the bigger triangle is 4.5 (3x3 all divided by 2)

So, 44 + 3 + 4.5 = 51.5

200

The volume of the rectangular prism is 1248.75cm cubed because

18.5 x 13.5 x 5 = 1248.75

200

Could 2, 9, and 12 be the 3 lengths of the sides of a triangle? Why or why not?

No because 2 + 9 = 11 and and 11 < 12.

300

What do supplementary angles add up to be?

180 degrees

300

What is the area of a trapezoid with the following dimensions:

base 1: 5 ft.

base 2: 9 ft.

height: 4 feet

28

300

The area of this composite figure is 56 units squared because:


The area of the rectangle on the left is 24 (6x4=24)

The area of the rectangle in the center is 8 (2x4=8)

The area of the rectangle on the right is 24 (6x4=24)

So, 24 + 24 + 8 = 56

300

What is the measure of the missing dimension of this rectangular prism if we know the volume is 54in cubed?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xIPX_oaMuKIt0RQIWPbLRR7VzBAyTWZRzZBpJv_TnuA/edit?usp=sharing

The missing dimension is 9 inches because:


3 * 2 * b = 54

6b = 54

divide by 6 on both sides

b = 9

300

<G and <K are vertical angles. <G is 50 degrees, what is the measure of <K?

50 degrees


Vertical angles are congruent.

400

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

(base x height) divided by 2 OR 1/2 x base x height

400

The area of a given trapezoid is 50 meters squared.

Base 1 is 8 meters.

Base 2 is 12 meters.

What is the height?

The height is 5 meters because:

area = (base 1 + base 2)h all divided by 2

so plug in what you know, then solve for h!

50 = (8 + 12)h all divided by 2

50 = 20h/2

multiply by 2 on both sides

100=20h

divide by 20 on both sides

5 = h

400

The area of this composite figure is 50 centimeters squared because:

the area of the rectangle is 30 (6x5)

the area of the triangle is 20 (8x5 all divided by 2)

So, 30 + 20 = 50

400

What is the measure of the missing dimension of this rectangular prism if we know the volume is 156cm cubed?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hAoTALj_phcvWlcYsgkKPInVcfTPH4Ekv53j-tWGBKo/edit?usp=sharing

The missing dimension is 6.5cm because:


8 * 3 * b = 156

24b = 156

divide by 24 on both sides

b = 6.5

400

AC because it is directly across from the largest angle (angle B which is 75 degrees)

500

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

(base 1 + base 2) times height, then all of that divided by 2

OR

1/2 x (base 1 + base 2) x height

500

The area of a given trapezoid is 154 meters squared.

Base 1 is 5 meters.

Base 2 is 17 meters.

What is the height?

The height is 14 meters because:

area = (base 1 + base 2)h all divided by 2

so plug in what you know, then solve for h!

154 = (5 + 17)h all divided by 2

154 = 22h/2

multiply by 2 on both sides

308=22h

divide by 22 on both sides

14 = h

500

Angle P because it is directly across from the shortest side (side QR which is 8)
