Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Whats the Area? | 6th Grade Geometry Worksheets
To solve the problem of finding the areas of the given shapes, we will calculate each shape's area step by step using the appropriate formulas. Let's go through each shape one by one.

---

1. Triangle


Given:
- Base = 4 cm
- Height = 3 cm

Formula for the area of a triangle:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \, \text{cm}^2 = 6 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for the triangle:
\[
\boxed{6 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]

2. Rectangle


Given:
- Length = 2 cm
- Width = 3 cm

Formula for the area of a rectangle:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = 2 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} = 6 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for the rectangle:
\[
\boxed{6 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]

---

3. Square


Given:
- Side length = 5 cm

Formula for the area of a square:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side}^2
\]

Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = 5 \, \text{cm} \times 5 \, \text{cm} = 25 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for the square:
\[
\boxed{25 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]

---

4. Parallelogram


Given:
- Base = 7 cm
- Height = 3 cm

Formula for the area of a parallelogram:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = 7 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} = 21 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for the parallelogram:
\[
\boxed{21 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]

---

5. Trapezoid


Given:
- Top base (\(b_1\)) = 4 cm
- Bottom base (\(b_2\)) = 8 cm
- Height = 3 cm

Formula for the area of a trapezoid:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{top base} + \text{bottom base}) \times \text{height}
\]

Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (4 \, \text{cm} + 8 \, \text{cm}) \times 3 \, \text{cm} = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} = \frac{1}{2} \times 36 \, \text{cm}^2 = 18 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for the trapezoid:
\[
\boxed{18 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]

---

6. Circle


Given:
- Diameter = 10 cm
- Radius (\(r\)) = \(\frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{10 \, \text{cm}}{2} = 5 \, \text{cm}\)

Formula for the area of a circle:
\[
\text{Area} = \pi \times r^2
\]

Calculation:
\[
\text{Area} = \pi \times (5 \, \text{cm})^2 = \pi \times 25 \, \text{cm}^2 = 25\pi \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Using \(\pi \approx 3.14\):
\[
\text{Area} \approx 25 \times 3.14 = 78.5 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for the circle:
\[
\boxed{78.5 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]

---

Final Answers:


1. Triangle: \(\boxed{6 \, \text{cm}^2}\)
2. Rectangle: \(\boxed{6 \, \text{cm}^2}\)
3. Square: \(\boxed{25 \, \text{cm}^2}\)
4. Parallelogram: \(\boxed{21 \, \text{cm}^2}\)
5. Trapezoid: \(\boxed{18 \, \text{cm}^2}\)
6. Circle: \(\boxed{78.5 \, \text{cm}^2}\)
