Question

Which shapes will have an area of 24 m2, CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY

(A) a triangle with a base of 6m and height of 4m
(B) a parallelogram with a base of 48m and a height of 0.5m
(C) a trapezoid with bases 9m and 3m and height of 4m
(D) a triangle with a base of 8m and a height of 3m

Answer 1

Answers B) and C) are correct

Answer 2

(A) a triangle with a base of 6m and height of 4m:

Area = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 6m x 4m = 12m^2

(B) a parallelogram with a base of 48m and a height of 0.5m:

Area = base x height = 48m x 0.5m = 24m^2

(C) a trapezoid with bases 9m and 3m and height of 4m:

Area = 1/2 x (base1 + base2) x height = 1/2 x (9m + 3m) x 4m = 24m^2

(D) a triangle with a base of 8m and a height of 3m:

Area = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 8m x 3m = 12m^2

So the shapes that have an area of 24 m^2 are A (triangle) and C (trapezoid).

I Hope This Helps!
