Correct Answer
A. AreaExplanation
When measuring the inside of a two-dimensional figure such as a square, rectangle, or triangle, you are finding the area. Area is a measurement of the amount of space inside a shape, typically expressed in square units. It is calculated by multiplying the length of the base by the height of the shape (for rectangles and triangles) or by multiplying the lengths of two adjacent sides (for squares). The area helps determine the amount of surface or space occupied by the figure.Rate this question:

What is the proper way to label the area of a rectangle that has a length of 5 inchesand a width of 4 inches?
-
20 inches
-
20 square inches
-
9 square inches
Correct Answer
A. 20 square inchesExplanation
The proper way to label the area of a rectangle with a length of 5 inches and a width of 4 inches is 20 square inches. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and width, so in this case, 5 inches multiplied by 4 inches equals 20 square inches.Rate this question:

When you measure the height of a figure the line must be straight ( not slanted). It must be perpendicular ( at a 90 degree angle) to the base.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When measuring the height of a figure, it is important for the line to be straight and not slanted. This ensures an accurate measurement. Additionally, the line must be perpendicular to the base, forming a 90-degree angle. This is because the height is the vertical distance from the base to the top of the figure. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.Rate this question:

The base of a figure...
-
Is always just the bottom only
-
May be the bottom as well as the top
-
Is always only the top
Correct Answer
A. May be the bottom as well as the topExplanation
The correct answer is "may be the bottom as well as the top." This means that the base of a figure can be either the bottom or the top, or both. The base is typically the surface on which the figure rests or is built upon, so depending on the shape and structure of the figure, the base can be at either the bottom or the top, or even both in some cases.Rate this question:

What is the area of a parallelogram that has a height of 7m and a base of 4 m?
-
11 square meters
-
28 square meters
-
14 square meters
Correct Answer
A. 28 square metersExplanation
The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base by the height. In this case, the base is 4m and the height is 7m. Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 4m * 7m = 28 square meters.Rate this question:

What is the area of a triangle that has a height of 9cm and a base of 4 cm?
-
18 sq cm
-
36 sq cm
-
13 sq cm
Correct Answer
A. 18 sq cmExplanation
The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base and height and dividing by 2. In this case, the base is 4 cm and the height is 9 cm. So, the area would be (4 cm * 9 cm) / 2 = 36 cm² / 2 = 18 cm².Rate this question:

What is the area of a trapezoid that has a base of 2 inches, a base of 4 inches and a height of 3 inches?
-
6 sq. inches
-
24 sq. inches
-
9 sq inches
Correct Answer
A. 9 sq inchesExplanation
The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: (base1 + base2) * height / 2. In this case, the base1 is 2 inches, the base2 is 4 inches, and the height is 3 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get (2 + 4) * 3 / 2 = 6 * 3 / 2 = 18 / 2 = 9 sq. inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 9 sq. inches.Rate this question:

What is the area of a parallelogram that has a height of 21 m and a base of 9 m?
-
159 sq m
-
30 sq m
-
189 sq.m
Correct Answer
A. 189 sq.mExplanation
The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base by the height. In this case, the base is 9 m and the height is 21 m. Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 9 m multiplied by 21 m, which equals 189 sq.m.Rate this question:

What is the area of a trapezoid that has a base of 6 inches, a base of 10 inches and a height of 5 inches?
-
40 sq inches
-
21 sq inches
-
150 sq inches
Correct Answer
A. 40 sq inchesExplanation
The area of a trapezoid can be calculated by using the formula: A = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height. In this case, the bases are 6 inches and 10 inches, and the height is 5 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get A = (1/2) * (6 + 10) * 5 = 40 sq inches.Rate this question:

What is the area of a triangle that has a height of 25 cm and a base of 20 cm?
-
420 cm
-
500 sq cm
-
250 sq.cm
Correct Answer
A. 250 sq.cmExplanation
The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base by the height and dividing the result by 2. In this case, the base is 20 cm and the height is 25 cm. Multiplying these values gives us 500 cm². Dividing this by 2 gives us the final answer of 250 sq.cm.Rate this question:
