1. A rectangle on a grid is 5 squares wide and 3 squares tall. What is the total area?

Explanation

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its width by its height. In this case, the rectangle is 5 squares wide and 3 squares tall. Therefore, the area is calculated as 5 (width) x 3 (height) = 15 square units.

2. If a square has sides of 4 grid squares each, what is its area?

Explanation

The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of one of its sides. In this case, each side measures 4 grid squares. Therefore, the area is 4 × 4, which equals 16 square units.

Submit

3. A grid shows a shape with 24 complete squares inside it. What is the area?

Explanation

The area of a shape can be determined by counting the number of complete squares it contains. Since the grid shows 24 complete squares within the shape, the area is equivalent to the total number of squares, which is 24 square units.

Submit

4. A rectangle measures 6 units by 2 units on a grid. Its area is ____ square units.

Explanation

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its length by its width. In this case, the rectangle measures 6 units in length and 2 units in width. Therefore, the area is calculated as 6 × 2 = 12 square units.

Submit

5. How many unit squares cover a 7 × 5 rectangle?

Explanation

To find the number of unit squares in a 7 × 5 rectangle, multiply the length by the width. Thus, 7 (length) multiplied by 5 (width) equals 35. Therefore, a 7 × 5 rectangle contains 35 unit squares.

Submit

6. A square on a grid has an area of 9 square units. How long is each side?

Explanation

A square's area is calculated by squaring the length of one side. Given an area of 9 square units, we find the side length by taking the square root of 9. Thus, the side length is 3 units, as 3 x 3 = 9.

Submit

7. An L-shaped figure is made of two rectangles: one is 4 × 3 and the other is 2 × 2. What is the total area?

Explanation

To find the total area of the L-shaped figure, calculate the area of each rectangle separately. The area of the 4 × 3 rectangle is 12 square units, and the area of the 2 × 2 rectangle is 4 square units. Adding these together gives 12 + 4 = 16 square units, which is the total area.

Submit

8. A rectangle has an area of 20 square units and a width of 4 units. What is its length?

Explanation

To find the length of a rectangle, use the formula for area: Area = Length × Width. Given the area is 20 square units and the width is 4 units, you can rearrange the formula to find the length: Length = Area / Width = 20 / 4 = 5 units.

Submit

9. If you have a 3 × 3 square, the area is ____ square units.

Explanation

The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of one of its sides. In this case, each side of the 3 × 3 square measures 3 units. Therefore, the area is 3 × 3 = 9 square units.

Submit

10. A shape on a grid covers 18 unit squares. Which dimensions could create this area?

Explanation

To cover 18 unit squares, the area of the shape must equal 18. The dimensions 3 × 6 yield an area of 18 (3 multiplied by 6 equals 18), making it a valid option. Other combinations either exceed or do not meet the required area of 18 unit squares.

Submit

11. A grid square has side length 1 unit. A rectangle covering 8 grid squares could be 4 × ____ units.

Explanation

A rectangle that covers 8 grid squares can be expressed in terms of its dimensions. Given one side is 4 units, the other side must be calculated as follows: Area = length × width. Thus, 8 = 4 × width, leading to a width of 2 units. Therefore, the rectangle can be 4 × 2 units.

Submit

12. True or False: A 5 × 4 rectangle has the same area as a 10 × 2 rectangle.

Explanation

Both rectangles have the same area, calculated by multiplying their dimensions. The area of the 5 × 4 rectangle is 20 square units (5 × 4 = 20), and the area of the 10 × 2 rectangle is also 20 square units (10 × 2 = 20). Since both areas are equal, the statement is true.

Submit

13. A rectangular garden on a grid is 8 units long and 3 units wide. How many square units of soil are needed?

Submit

14. Which pair of rectangles has the same area?

Submit

15. A composite shape is made of a 5 × 2 rectangle and a 3 × 3 square. The total area is ____ square units.
