Question 12345 of 5

Question 1 of 5

A triangular banner has a base of 12 inches and a height of 9 inches. What is the area of the banner, in square inches?

Explanation

The area of a triangle is found with the formula , where is the base and is the height. Substituting the given values gives . Therefore, the area of the banner is square inches.

Concept summary

To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height and then divide by 2.

Question 2 of 5

A park is adding a circular flower bed with a diameter of 10 feet. If the flower bed will be covered completely with mulch, which of the following is closest to the area of the flower bed in square feet?

Explanation

The area of a circle is found with the formula . The diameter is 10 feet, so the radius is half of that: . Then

So the correct answer is .

Concept summary

To find the area of a circle, first convert diameter to radius by dividing by 2, then use .

Question 3 of 5

A circle has area square units. What is the circumference of the circle?

Explanation

Use the area formula for a circle: . Since the area is , set . Dividing both sides by gives , so . Then use the circumference formula, . Substituting gives . Therefore, the correct answer is .

Concept summary

For circles, area and circumference use different formulas. If the area is given, first solve for the radius using , then use that radius in .

Question 4 of 5

On the coordinate plane, a rectangle has one side on the x-axis, one side on the y-axis, and its upper-right vertex at . Which expression is equivalent to the area of the rectangle?

Explanation

Because one side of the rectangle lies on the x-axis and one side lies on the y-axis, the rectangle’s vertices are , , , and . Its length is 6 units and its width is 4 units. The area of a rectangle is length times width, so the area is . Therefore, the equivalent expression is .

Concept summary

For a rectangle on the coordinate plane, the side lengths can be found from the coordinates, and the area is the product of those side lengths.

Question 5 of 5

A rectangle and a triangle have the same area. The rectangle has length 12 inches and width 5 inches. The triangle has a height of 8 inches, and its base is inches longer than the rectangle's width. What is the value of ?

Explanation

The area of the rectangle is square inches. Since the triangle has the same area, its area is also 60. Let the triangle's base be because it is inches longer than the rectangle's width. Using the triangle area formula,

Since , this becomes

Divide by 4:

Subtract 5:

Concept summary

Set the two area expressions equal, write the unknown length using the given relationship, and solve the resulting equation.
