Explanation:
We are asked to find the area of six different shapes. Let’s go one by one, using the correct formulas.
1) Triangle
Base = 16 in, Height = 12 in
Area of triangle = (base × height) ÷ 2
= (16 × 12) ÷ 2 = 192 ÷ 2 =
96 in²
2) Square
Side = 10 ft
Area of square = side × side = 10 × 10 =
100 ft²
3) Rectangle
Length = 8 m, Width = 5 m
Area = length × width = 8 × 5 =
40 m²
4) Triangle
Base = 5 in, Height = 10 in
Area = (5 × 10) ÷ 2 = 50 ÷ 2 =
25 in²
5) Trapezoid
Top base = 5 ft, Bottom base = 12 ft, Height = 10 ft
Area of trapezoid = (top + bottom) × height ÷ 2
= (5 + 12) × 10 ÷ 2 = 17 × 10 ÷ 2 = 170 ÷ 2 =
85 ft²
6) Parallelogram
Base = 12 ft, Height = 7 ft
Area = base × height = 12 × 7 =
84 ft²
Let me double-check each:
1) 16×12=192 → ÷2 = 96 ✔
2) 10×10=100 ✔
3) 8×5=40 ✔
4) 5×10=50 → ÷2 = 25 ✔
5) (5+12)=17; 17×10=170; ÷2=85 ✔
6) 12×7=84 ✔
All correct.
Final Answer:
1) 96 in²
2) 100 ft²
3) 40 m²
4) 25 in²
5) 85 ft²
6) 84 ft²
