Example Question #25 : Reason With Shapes And Their Attributes
If I cut a rectangle into fourths, how am I changing the size?
The four pieces will be the same size as the rectangle
The four pieces will be different sizes
The four pieces will be bigger than the rectangle
The four pieces will be smaller than the rectangle
The four pieces will be smaller than the rectangle
When we cut something in fourths, we get four smaller pieces that equal each other. If we put those pieces back together, we’d get the original size of the rectangle.
Example Question #26 : Reason With Shapes And Their Attributes
If I cut a rectangle in half, how am I changing the size?
Each piece will be different sizes
Each piece will be the same size as the rectangle
Each piece will be bigger than the rectangle
Each pieces will be smaller than the rectangle, they will be half the size.
Each pieces will be smaller than the rectangle, they will be half the size.
When we cut something in half, we get two smaller pieces that equal each other. If we put those pieces back together, we’d get the original size of the rectangle.
Example Question #31 : Reason With Shapes And Their Attributes
If I cut a rectangle into two parts, I am cutting it in ___________.
Fourths
Quarters
Half
Thirds
Half
When we cut something into two parts, which means the same thing as cutting it in half.
Example Question #32 : Reason With Shapes And Their Attributes
What portion of the circle is striped?
A fourth of the circle is stripedd
A third of the circle is striped
A fifth of the circle is striped
Half of the circle is striped
Half of the circle is striped
The circle is divided into two equal sizes. One side is striped and one side is blue. So half of the circle is striped.
Example Question #33 : Reason With Shapes And Their Attributes
A fourth means the same thing as a ____________.
Quarter
Fourth
Fifth
Third
Quarter
A fourth and a quarter mean the same thing because both words mean pieces.
Example Question #91 : Plane Geometry
Tim's mom wants to put new tiles in their kitchen. She bought enough tiles to fit a square foot room. Tim measures the size of the kitchen and finds that one wall is feet long and the other wall is feet long. Has his mom purchased enough tiles to complete the entire floor in the kitchen? In your answer, include the square footage of the kitchen, according to Tim's measurements.
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the length times the width.
Tim measured the kitchen and found the two walls to be ft. and ft. To find the area we need to plug those numbers into our formula:
We know that Sam's mother only ordered enough tiles to fill a square foot room, so she does NOT have enough tiles to fill the kitchen.
Example Question #92 : Plane Geometry
What is the AREA of the rectangle in the figure?
Because the question asks you to find the AREA of the rectangle, you are looking to figure out how much space the rectangle covers. You find the area of rectangle by multiplying the length of the rectangle times the width. So , or Therefore the correct answer is .
Example Question #93 : Plane Geometry
Find the area of a rectangle with a length of and a width of .
Write the area of a rectangle.
Substitute the dimensions and solve for the area.
The area is .
Example Question #94 : Plane Geometry
Find the area of a rectangle whose width is 5 and length is 7.
To solve, simply use the formula for the area of a rectangle.
Example Question #95 : Plane Geometry
Find the area of a rectangle whose width is 2 and length is 11.
To find area of a rectangle, simply use the following formula.
