Answer: Solving the first one. Feel free to ask questions!
Step-by-step explanation:
Area - number of units inside a given shape (Your using this one)
Perimeter - number of units to cover the outside
Step 1: Determine the needed formulas. In this case, there are 2 rectangles, so we will use Width X Height to solve
Step 2: Break the shape into simple shapes to solve
Step 3: Solve
Solving purple rectangle: 8 is the width, and the height is 2
8 x 2 = 16
Solving pink rectangle: 4 is the height, and 5 is the width
4 x 5 = 20
Step 4: Once all areas are found, add them together
16 + 20 = 36 36 is the total Area

Problem 2
Again there are 2 rectangles, so we will use Width X Height to solve
Step 2: Break the shape apart
Step 3: Solve
Solving blue rectangle: 2 is the width, 3 is the height
2 x 3 = 6
Solving green rectangle: 7 is the width, 3 is the height
7 x 3 = 21
Step 4: Add
6 + 21 = 27 27 is the total Area
* Remember, Every shape has a given formula to find the area*
Here are some that you will need for the worksheet:
-The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is length x width.
-The formula for finding the area of a square is side x side.
-The formula for finding the area of a triangle is base x height 1/2.
-The formula for finding the area of a circle is π x radius x radius.
