How do you calculate the area of a shaded region?

Back

To find the area of a shaded region, subtract the area of the unshaded part from the total area. For example, if the total area is 16 cm² and the unshaded area is 4 cm², the shaded area is 12 cm².

How do you find the length of a side in a triangle?

Back

To find the length of a side in a triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles or apply the laws of sine and cosine for non-right triangles.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the significance of congruent angles in triangles?

Back

Congruent angles in triangles indicate that the triangles may be similar or congruent, which can help in proving relationships between different triangles.

Front

What is the difference between similar and congruent triangles?

Back

Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, while congruent triangles are identical in both shape and size.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula: Area = length * width.

Front

What is the definition of a polygon?

Back

A polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of straight line segments connected end to end.
