Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Area of shapes exercise
To solve the problems, we need to calculate the areas of the given shapes using their respective formulas. Let's go through each problem step by step.

1. Rectangle


The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
Given:
- Length = 10 m
- Width = 4 m

\[
\text{Area} = 10 \, \text{m} \times 4 \, \text{m} = 40 \, \text{m}^2
\]

2. Triangle


The formula for the area of a triangle is:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Given:
- Base = 9 m
- Height = 6 m

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \, \text{m} \times 6 \, \text{m} = \frac{1}{2} \times 54 \, \text{m}^2 = 27 \, \text{m}^2
\]

3. Square


The formula for the area of a square is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{side}^2
\]
Given:
- Side = 7 m

\[
\text{Area} = 7 \, \text{m} \times 7 \, \text{m} = 49 \, \text{m}^2
\]

4. Triangle


The formula for the area of a triangle is:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Given:
- Base = 8 m
- Height = 12 m

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \, \text{m} \times 12 \, \text{m} = \frac{1}{2} \times 96 \, \text{m}^2 = 48 \, \text{m}^2
\]

5. Rectangle


The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
Given:
- Length = 20 m
- Width = 7 m

\[
\text{Area} = 20 \, \text{m} \times 7 \, \text{m} = 140 \, \text{m}^2
\]

6. Rectangle


The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
Given:
- Length = 11 m
- Width = 8 m

\[
\text{Area} = 11 \, \text{m} \times 8 \, \text{m} = 88 \, \text{m}^2
\]

Final Answers


\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
1. & 40 \, \text{m}^2 \\
2. & 27 \, \text{m}^2 \\
3. & 49 \, \text{m}^2 \\
4. & 48 \, \text{m}^2 \\
5. & 140 \, \text{m}^2 \\
6. & 88 \, \text{m}^2 \\
\end{array}
}
\]
