Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Finding Area Mixed Practice Worksheet - Set #1
Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll use the correct area formulas for each shape and calculate carefully.

---

1. Square with side 7 m
Area of square = side × side = 7 × 7 = 49 m²

---

2. Rectangle with length 12 ft, width 6 ft
Area of rectangle = length × width = 12 × 6 = 72 ft²

---

3. Right triangle with base 8 ft, height 6 ft
Area of triangle = (base × height) ÷ 2 = (8 × 6) ÷ 2 = 48 ÷ 2 = 24 ft²

---

4. Circle with diameter 12 m → radius = 6 m
Area of circle = π × r² ≈ 3.14 × 6² = 3.14 × 36 = 113.04 m²

*(We’ll use 3.14 for π unless told otherwise)*

---

5. Parallelogram with base 10 ft, height 4 ft
Area of parallelogram = base × height = 10 × 4 = 40 ft²

---

6. Trapezoid with bases 3 km and 5 km, height 2 km
Area of trapezoid = ((base1 + base2) × height) ÷ 2 = ((3 + 5) × 2) ÷ 2 = (8 × 2) ÷ 2 = 16 ÷ 2 = 8 km²

---

7. Triangle with base 10 cm, height 7 cm
Area = (base × height) ÷ 2 = (10 × 7) ÷ 2 = 70 ÷ 2 = 35 cm²

---

8. Circle with diameter 10 ft → radius = 5 ft
Area = π × r² ≈ 3.14 × 5² = 3.14 × 25 = 78.5 ft²

---

9. Circle with diameter 7 yd → radius = 3.5 yd
Area = π × r² ≈ 3.14 × (3.5)² = 3.14 × 12.25 = 38.465 yd²
(Rounded to 3 decimal places — or we can leave as is since it’s exact with 3.14)

Actually, let’s compute:
3.5 × 3.5 = 12.25
3.14 × 12.25 =
→ 3 × 12.25 = 36.75
→ 0.14 × 12.25 = 1.715
Total = 36.75 + 1.715 = 38.465 yd²

---

10. Shaded part: rectangle minus triangle?
Looking at the figure: It’s a rectangle 6 ft wide and 8 ft tall? Wait — actually, the shaded region is a right triangle on top of a rectangle? No — looking again:

The figure shows a vertical rectangle 6 ft wide, total height 8 ft, but there’s a dashed line from bottom left to top right corner of the rectangle? Actually, no — the shaded region is a quadrilateral that looks like a trapezoid or maybe a triangle plus rectangle?

Wait — re-examining: The figure has a vertical side labeled 8 ft, horizontal bottom 6 ft, and a diagonal dashed line from bottom-left to a point 7 ft up on the right side? Actually, the description says “shaded part” — and the figure is a right trapezoid? Or perhaps it’s a rectangle with a triangle cut out?

Actually, looking closely: The shaded region is a polygon with vertices at bottom-left, bottom-right, then up 7 ft on the right, then diagonally to top-left? That would make it a trapezoid with parallel sides 8 ft and 7 ft? No.

Wait — better interpretation: The entire figure is a rectangle 6 ft wide and 8 ft high. There’s a dashed line from bottom-left corner to a point 7 ft up on the right side. The shaded region is the part BELOW that diagonal? So it’s a triangle? But that doesn’t match.

Alternatively — the shaded region is a right triangle with legs 6 ft and 7 ft? Because the dashed line goes from bottom-left to a point 7 ft up on the right edge, and the bottom is 6 ft. So if you connect those, the shaded region might be the triangle formed by bottom-left, bottom-right, and the point 7 ft up on the right? That would be a right triangle with base 6 ft and height 7 ft.

Yes — that makes sense. So area = (6 × 7) ÷ 2 = 42 ÷ 2 = 21 ft²

But wait — the full height is 8 ft, and the point is at 7 ft — so maybe the unshaded part is a small triangle on top? Let me think differently.

Actually, standard interpretation for such figures: The shaded region is a trapezoid with parallel sides 7 ft and 8 ft, and width 6 ft? No — because the non-parallel sides are not both vertical.

Better approach: The figure is a rectangle 6 ft by 8 ft. A diagonal is drawn from bottom-left to a point 7 ft up on the right side. The shaded region is the quadrilateral below that line? Then it’s a trapezoid with bases 7 ft and 8 ft? No.

Actually, let's consider coordinates:

Place bottom-left at (0,0), bottom-right at (6,0), top-right at (6,8), top-left at (0,8). The dashed line goes from (0,0) to (6,7). The shaded region is the polygon bounded by (0,0), (6,0), (6,7), and back to (0,0)? That would be a triangle? No — from (0,0) to (6,0) to (6,7) to (0,0) — that’s a right triangle with legs 6 and 7? But then why is the full height 8 mentioned?

Perhaps the shaded region is the area under the line from (0,0) to (6,7), which is a triangle with base 6 and height 7 — area = (6×7)/2 = 21 ft².

I think that’s it. So 21 ft²

---

11. Triangle with base 16 m, height 20 m
Area = (base × height) ÷ 2 = (16 × 20) ÷ 2 = 320 ÷ 2 = 160 m²

---

12. Parallelogram with base 12 ft, height 4 ft
Area = base × height = 12 × 4 = 48 ft²

Note: The 10 ft is the slant side — we don’t use that for area; only base and perpendicular height.

---

Now, let’s list all answers clearly:

1. 49 m²
2. 72 ft²
3. 24 ft²
4. 113.04 m²
5. 40 ft²
6. 8 km²
7. 35 cm²
8. 78.5 ft²
9. 38.465 yd²
10. 21 ft²
11. 160 m²
12. 48 ft²

Double-checking #10: If the figure is a rectangle 6x8, and a line from bottom-left to (6,7), and shaded is the triangle below — yes, base 6, height 7 → area 21. Correct.

#9: 3.14 * 3.5^2 = 3.14 * 12.25 = let's recalculate:
12.25 * 3 = 36.75
12.25 * 0.14 = 12.25 * 0.1 = 1.225; 12.25 * 0.04 = 0.49; total 1.225+0.49=1.715
36.75 + 1.715 = 38.465 — correct.

All others seem straightforward.

Final Answer:
1. 49 m²
2. 72 ft²
3. 24 ft²
4. 113.04 m²
5. 40 ft²
6. 8 km²
7. 35 cm²
8. 78.5 ft²
9. 38.465 yd²
10. 21 ft²
11. 160 m²
12. 48 ft²
