Example Question #15 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra

The area of a particular rectangle is . If the length of the rectangle is twice the width, what is the width of the rectangle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The forumla for the area of a rectangle is Length X Width. Here, that would be Width X 2Width (length). Solving for width, you get

2w^2 = 72 . Dividing by 2 and taking the square root of each side gives us

w = 6 . Thus, the width of the rectangle is units.

Example Question #16 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra

A square has a perimeter of . Find the area of the square.

Possible Answers:

196

256

128

144

Correct answer:

256

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a square is P = 4s ( = side length of the square).

If the perimeter is , then the side length is .

Then, to find the area of the square, square the side length ( $16^{2}$ )

Thus, the area of the square is 256 .

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Area Of A Parallelogram In Pre Algebra

A parallelogram has a base which is feet long and another side of feet. The height of the parallelogram is feet. What is the area of the parallelogram?

Possible Answers:

$15\ \textup{ft}^{2}$

$24\ \textup{ft}^{2}$

$30\ \textup{ft}^{2}$

$20\ \textup{ft}^{2}$

$12\ \textup{ft}^{2}$

Correct answer:

$24\ \textup{ft}^{2}$

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is:

$Area = base \cdot height$

We know that that base of this parallelogram is feet and the height is feet. Thus, by this formula we have that:

$Area = 6 \cdot4 = 24$ feet squared.

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle In Pre Algebra

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

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is half of the base times the height: $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

Plug in our given information and solve:

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$
