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.
