53
Q

calculate the area of a rectangle with sides 3.7cm and 5cm

A

Area = 3.7cm x 5cm

= 37mm x 50mm
= 37 x 100 / 2
= 370 / 2
= 185mm
= 18.5cm (squared)

54
Q

calculate the area of a L-shaped room.

6m x 9m x 3m x 7m x A x B

A

A = 3m and B = 2m

Divide the room into 2 rectangles.

Area = (7m x 3m) + (6m x 2m)

= 21m + 12m
= 33m (sq)

55
Q

Calculate the area of a right-angles triangle that is 6mm x 6mm x 90cm

A

Area = (6mm x 6mm) / 2

= 36mm / 2
= 18mm (sq)
= 1.8cm (sq)

64
Q

In a quadrilateral, calculate x

^ A = 65 Deg
^ B = 85 Deg
^ C = 127 Deg
^ D = ?

A

All angles inside a quadrilateral add up to 360 Deg

= 360 - (65 + 85 + 127)
= 360 - (150 + 127)
= 360 - 277
= 83
D = 83 Deg

65
Q

Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle with length of 12cm
and a width of 30mm

A

Perimeter = L x 2 + B x 2

= 12cm x 2 + 30mm x 2
= 24cm + 60mm
= 24cm + 6cm
= 30cm

66
Q

Calculate the area of a rectangle with length of 12cm

= 12cm x 3cm
= 36cm (sq)

67
Q

Right- angled Triangle with Sides
7.2cm x 6.5cm x 12.3cm

A

Area = L x H /2

= 7.2 x 6.5 / 2
= (7.2 x 6 + 7.2 x 0.5) / 2
= (42 + 1.2 + 3.5 + 0.1) / 2
= 46.8 / 2
= 23.4cm (sq)

68
Q

Calculate the Surface area of a rectangular prism with measurements:

10cm (l) x 3cm (w) x 5cm (h)

Surface Area: 2(L x h + L x B + B x H)

= 2(10cm x 5cm + 10cm x 3cm + 3cm x 5cm)
= 2(50cm(sq) + 30cm(sq) + 15cm(sq))
= 2 x 95cm(sq)
= 190cm (sq)
