Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll find the area of each shape using the correct formula.
---
1) Square with side 5 cm
Area of a square = side × side
= 5 cm × 5 cm
=
25 cm²
---
2) Square with side 4 cm
Area = 4 cm × 4 cm
=
16 cm²
---
3) Rectangle with length 5 cm and width 2 cm
Area of rectangle = length × width
= 5 cm × 2 cm
=
10 cm²
---
4) Rectangle with length 6 cm and width 4 cm
Area = 6 cm × 4 cm
=
24 cm²
---
5) Parallelogram with base 2 m and height 4 m
Area of parallelogram = base × height
= 2 m × 4 m
=
8 m²
*(Note: The dotted line shows the perpendicular height — that’s what we use, not the slanted side.)*
---
6) Parallelogram with base 2 m and height 3 m
Area = 2 m × 3 m
=
6 m²
---
Final Answer:
1) 25 cm²
2) 16 cm²
3) 10 cm²
4) 24 cm²
5) 8 m²
6) 6 m²
