Example Question #81 : Geometry
Calculate the area of the provided figure.
In order to solve this problem, we need to recall the area formula for a rectangle:
Now that we have the correct formula, we can substitute in our known values and solve:
Example Question #1 : Solve Problems Involving Area, Volume And Surface Area Of Two And Three Dimensional Objects: Ccss.Math.Content.7.G.B.6
Calculate the area of the provided figure.
In order to solve this problem, we need to recall the area formula for a rectangle:
Now that we have the correct formula, we can substitute in our known values and solve:
Example Question #911 : Grade 7
In rectangle ABCD, the perimeter is 48 and side BC measures 4. What is the area of rectangle ABCD?

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2L + 2W, or 2 times the length plus 2 times the width. Here you're given that side BC is 4, which means that the opposite side, AD, is also 4. So since that is two widths, you now have:
8 + 2L = 48
So 2L = 40
That means that the length is 20.
Since the area is LW, you can calculate the area as 20 * 4 = 80.

The area of a triangle is Length times Width. Here you can see that the length is 15 and the width is 10, so when you multiply 15 * 10 the answer is 150.
Example Question #912 : Grade 7
A rectangle's length is twice as long as its width. If the width of the rectangle is 4, what is its area?

The area of a rectangle is Length * Width. Here you're given the width as 4, so all you need to do is find the length and you can apply the formula.
Since the width is 4 and you know that the length is twice as long, that makes the length 8. Then Length * Width would be 8 * 4 = 32.

The area of a triangle is Length * Width, and in a rectangle opposite sides are parallel and have the same length. So here you know that the widths are 2 and the lengths are 7. So multiply 7 * 2 to get your answer, which is 14.

Calculate the area of the provided figure.
In order to solve this problem, we need to recall the area formula for a triangle:
Now that we have the correct formula, we can substitute in our known values and solve:

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula . Importantly, the height is a perpendicular line between the base and the opposite point. In a right triangle like this one, you're in luck: the triangle as drawn already has that perpendicular line as one of the two sides. So here we will calculate . That gives us an answer of 24.
Example Question #1 : Solve For Area Of A Triangle
In triangle ABC above, the distance between point A and point D is 10 inches, and the area of the triangle is 20 square inches. What is the length of side BC?
8 inches
There is not enough information to answer the question
2 inches

4 inches
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula Area = 1/2 * Base * Height. Here you're given two of the unknowns in that formula:
Area = 20
Height = 10
So you can plug those into the area formula to solve for Base, the only remaining unknown:
20 = 1/2 * Base * 10
That means that 20 = 5 * Base, so Base = 4.

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula . The height of a triangle is a perpendicular line connecting the base and its opposite point; in any acute or right triangle - a triangle with no angles greater than 90 degrees - the height is also the shortest line between the base and the opposite point. Here that means that if you use BC = 12 as your base, then the distance of 5 between BC and point A is the height. That means that you can calculate the area:
