Area of a Rectangle - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Due to the fact that AB is perpendicular to BC and forms a 90-degree angle,

it can be argued that AB is the height of the triangle.

Hence we can calculate the area as follows:

$\frac{AB\times BC}{2}=\frac{8\times6}{2}=\frac{48}{2}=24$

First, let's recall the formula for the area of a rhombus:

(Diagonal 1 * Diagonal 2) divided by 2

Now we will substitute the known data into the formula, giving us the answer:

(12*16)/2
192/2=
96

First, let's remember the formula for the area of a triangle:

(the side * the height that descends to the side) /2

In the question, we have three pieces of data, but one of them is redundant!

We only have one height, the line that forms a 90-degree angle - AD,

The side to which the height descends is CB,

Therefore, we can use them in our calculation:

$\frac{CB\times AD}{2}$

$\frac{8\times9}{2}=\frac{72}{2}=36$

First, let's remind ourselves of the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

$A=\frac{\left(Base\text{ }+\text{ Base}\right)\text{ h}}{2}$

We substitute the given values into the formula:

(2.5+4)*6 =
6.5*6=
39/2 = 
19.5

First, we need to remind ourselves of how to work out the area of a trapezoid:



Now let's substitute the given data into the formula:

(10+6)*5 =
2

Let's start with the upper part of the equation:

16*5 = 80

80/2 = 40

First, we recall the formula for the area of a kite: multiply the lengths of the diagonals by each other and divide the product by 2.

We substitute the known data into the formula:

 $\frac{8\cdot DB}{2}=32$

We reduce the 8 and the 2:

$4DB=32$

Divide by 4

$DB=8$

First, we will identify the data points we need to be able to find the area of the triangle.

the formula for the area of the triangle: height*opposite side / 2

Since it is a right triangle, we know that the straight sides are actually also the heights between each other, that is, the side that measures 5 and the side that measures 7.

We multiply the legs and divide by 2

$\frac{5\times7}{2}=\frac{35}{2}=17.5$

Formula for the area of a trapezoid:

$\frac{(base+base)}{2}\times altura$

We substitute the data into the formula and solve:

$\frac{9+12}{2}\times5=\frac{21}{2}\times5=\frac{105}{2}=52.5$

Let's begin by multiplying side AB by side BC

If we insert the known data into the above equation we should obtain the following:

$10\times2.5=25$

Thus the area of rectangle ABCD equals 25.

Let's begin by reminding ourselves of the formula for the area of a kite

$\frac{Diagonal1\times Diagonal2}{2}$

Both these values are given to us in the figure thus we can insert them directly into the formula:

(4*7)/2

28/2

14

Let's calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width:

$11\times7=77$

Let's calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width:

$2\times5=10$

Let's calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width:

$4\times8=32$

Let's calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width:

$AB\times BC=10\times5=50$

Let's calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the width:

$AB\times BC=7\times5=35$
