Example Question #25 : Rectangles
If I cut a rectangle into fourths, how am I changing the size?
The four pieces will be smaller than the rectangle
The four pieces will be bigger than the rectangle
The four pieces will be different sizes
The four pieces will be the same size as 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 : Rectangles
If I cut a rectangle in half, how am I changing the size?
Each pieces will be smaller than the rectangle, they will be half the size.
Each piece will be the same size as the rectangle
Each piece will be different sizes
Each piece will be bigger than the rectangle
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 #27 : Rectangles
If I cut a rectangle into two parts, I am cutting it in ___________.
Half
Thirds
Fourths
Quarters
Half
When we cut something into two parts, which means the same thing as cutting it in half.
Example Question #31 : Rectangles
What portion of the circle is striped?
A fifth of the circle is striped
A third of the circle is striped
Half of the circle is striped
A fourth of the circle is stripedd
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 #32 : Rectangles
A fourth means the same thing as a ____________.
Quarter
Fourth
Third
Fifth
Quarter
A fourth and a quarter mean the same thing because both words mean pieces.
Example Question #91 : Quadrilaterals
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 #5251 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
What is the AREA of the rectangle in the figure?
