Answers:
1. DOK Level 1; Content Topic: Q.4.a
The area of the rectangle is
A = bh
A = (4.5m)(12 m)
A = 54m2
2. DOK Level 1; Content Topic: Q.4.a
The area of the square is
A = s2
A = 36 in2, and then s = 6 in
3. DOK Level 2; Content Topic: Q.4.a
The area of the mural is
A = bh
A = (15 ft) (32 ft)
A = 480 ft2
Each quart covers 100 ft2, so it will take 5 quarts of coating to complete the job.
4. DOK Level 2; Content Topic: Q.4.a
The area of a rectangle is
A = bh.
If the base and height are doubled, the area becomes
A = (2b)(2h)
A = 4bh.
This is 4 times the original area.
5. DOK Level 2; Content Topic: Q.4.a
36
The area of the floor is 216 square feet, and the area of each tile is 6 square feet. Since each dimension of a tile is a factor of the corresponding dimension of the floor and 216 divided by 6 is equal to 36, it will take 36 tiles to cover the floor.
6. DOK Level 2; Content Topic: Q.4.a
The area of the parallelogram is
A = bh
A = (8 cm)(5 cm)
A = 40 cm2
7. DOK Level 2; Content Topic: Q.4.a
The area of the triangle is
A = ½ bh
A = ½ (15 m)(6 m)
A = 45 m2
8. 3/2 or 1.5 (DOK Level 2; Content Topic: Q.4.a)
Divide the figure into a square and a right triangle. The area of the square is A = x2and the area of the triangle is
A = ½ bh
A = ½ (x)(x)
A = ½ x2
The total area is A = 3/2 x2.
