Area and Surface Area Review

Front

What is the formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base × height

Front

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = (1/2) × (base1 + base2) × height

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (1/2) × base × height

Front

What is a net in geometry?

Back

A net is a two-dimensional pattern that can be folded to form a three-dimensional figure.

Front

How do you find the surface area of a triangular prism?

Back

Surface Area = (base area × 2) + (perimeter of base × height)

Front

What is the difference between area and surface area?

Back

Area measures the size of a two-dimensional surface, while surface area measures the total area of the outer surface of a three-dimensional object.

Front

What units are used to measure area?

Back

Square units (e.g., square centimeters, square meters) are used to measure area.

Front

What is the significance of the height in area calculations?

Back

Height is crucial in area calculations as it determines the vertical distance used in the formula.

Front

How do you determine the base of a triangle?

Back

The base of a triangle can be any one of its sides, typically the one on which the triangle is considered to be standing.

Front

What is the perimeter of a triangle?

Back

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all three sides.
