Area - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

We know that ABCD is a parallelogram. According to the properties of parallelograms, each pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel.

Therefore: $CD=AB=10$

We will calculate the area of the parallelogram using the formula of side multiplied by the height drawn from that side, so the area of the parallelogram is equal to:

$S_{ABCD}=10\times7=70cm^2$

We begin by multiplying side AB by side BC

We then substitute the given data and we obtain the following:

$4.5\times2=9$

Hence the area of rectangle ABCD equals 9

Let's begin by multiplying side AB by side BC

If we insert the known data into the above equation we should obtain the following:

$10\times2.5=25$

Thus the area of rectangle ABCD equals 25.

To solve the exercise, we first need to remember how to calculate the area of a rhombus:

(diagonal * diagonal) divided by 2

Let's plug in the data we have from the question

10*6=60

60/2=30

And that's the solution!

First, let's recall the formula for the area of a rhombus:

(Diagonal 1 * Diagonal 2) divided by 2

Now we will substitute the known data into the formula, giving us the answer:

(12*16)/2
192/2=
96

First, we recall the formula for the area of a kite: multiply the lengths of the diagonals by each other and divide the product by 2.

We substitute the known data into the formula:

 $\frac{8\cdot DB}{2}=32$

We reduce the 8 and the 2:

$4DB=32$

Divide by 4

$DB=8$

First, we need to remind ourselves of how to work out the area of a trapezoid:



Now let's substitute the given data into the formula:

(10+6)*5 =
2

Let's start with the upper part of the equation:

16*5 = 80

80/2 = 40

First, let's remind ourselves of the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

$A=\frac{\left(Base\text{ }+\text{ Base}\right)\text{ h}}{2}$

We substitute the given values into the formula:

(2.5+4)*6 =
6.5*6=
39/2 = 
19.5

Let's calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width:

$AB\times BC=10\times5=50$

Let's calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width:

$AB\times BC=7\times5=35$

First, let's remember the formula for the area of a triangle:

(the side * the height that descends to the side) /2

In the question, we have three pieces of data, but one of them is redundant!

We only have one height, the line that forms a 90-degree angle - AD,

The side to which the height descends is CB,

Therefore, we can use them in our calculation:

$\frac{CB\times AD}{2}$

$\frac{8\times9}{2}=\frac{72}{2}=36$

Due to the fact that AB is perpendicular to BC and forms a 90-degree angle,

it can be argued that AB is the height of the triangle.

Hence we can calculate the area as follows:

$\frac{AB\times BC}{2}=\frac{8\times6}{2}=\frac{48}{2}=24$

To solve the exercise, we need to remember the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

Side * Height perpendicular to the side

We can identify that in the diagram, although it's not presented in the way we're familiar with, we are given the two essential pieces of information -

Side = 6

Height = 5

Let's substitute into the formula and calculate:

6*5=30

And that's the solution!

First we need the formula for the area of a circle:

 $\pi r^2$

In the question, we are given the diameter of the circle, but we still need the radius.

It is known that the radius is actually half of the diameter, therefore:

$r=7:2=3.5$

We substitute the value into the formula.

$\pi3.5^2=12.25\pi$

Remember that the formula for the area of a circle is

πR²

We insert the known data:

π3²

π9
