Let’s solve this step by step.
We are told to color all shapes that have an area of
36 square units.
To find the area of a rectangle or square, we multiply:
>
Area = length × width
Let’s check each shape one by one.
---
Shape 1 (top left):
Length = 9, Width = 4
Area = 9 × 4 =
36 →
✔ This one should be colored!
---
Shape 2 (top right):
It’s a square with sides = 6
Area = 6 × 6 =
36 →
✔ This one should be colored too!
---
Shape 3 (middle left):
Length = 8, Width = 10
Area = 8 × 10 =
80 →
✘ Not 36 — don’t color.
---
Shape 4 (middle right):
It’s a square with sides = 9
Area = 9 × 9 =
81 →
✘ Not 36 — don’t color.
---
Shape 5 (bottom):
Length = 12, Width = 3
Area = 12 × 3 =
36 →
✔ This one should be colored!
---
So, the shapes with area 36 sq units are:
- Top left (9×4)
- Top right (6×6)
- Bottom (12×3)
Final Answer: Color the top-left rectangle, the top-right square, and the bottom rectangle.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of finding the area of a rectangle worksheet.
