1. The document is a study guide for a math test covering the topics of finding the area of triangles, parallelograms, squares, rectangles, and trapezoids. 2. It provides examples of calculating the area of different shapes by using the appropriate formulas: the area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height, the area of a parallelogram is base x height, the area of a square is side x side, and the area of a rectangle is length x width. 3. The last example shows how to find the area of a rectangle by multiplying its length of 8 centimeters by its width of 3 centimeters to get an area of 24 cm2.

Find the area of a right triangle with a base of 6 centimeters and a height of 9 centimeters.
= · (6 cm) · (9 cm)
= · (54 cm2)
= 27 cm2
Find the area of an acute triangle with a base of 15 inches and a height of 4 inches.
= · (15 in) · (4 in)
= · (60 in2)
= 30 in2
Find the area of an obtuse triangle with a base of 5 inches and a height of 8 inches.
= · (5 in) · (8 in)
= · (40 in2)
= 20 in2

2. Find the area of a parallelogram with a base of 12 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters.
= (12 cm) · (5 cm)
Find the area of the trapezoid.
A=1/2h(b1+b2)
A=1/2(5 cm)(2.5 cm + 6 cm)
A=(2.5 cm)(8.5 cm)
A= 21.25 square centimeters.
Find the area of a square with each side measuring 2 inches.
A = s²
= (2 in) · (2 in)
A= 4 square inches
A rectangle has a length of 8 centimeters and a width of 3
centimeters. Find the area.
A=LxW
A = (8)(3)
A = 24 cm²
