Exploring the Area of Quadrilaterals

What defines a quadrilateral?

• A shape with three sides

• A polygon with four sides

• A closed figure with curved lines

• A polygon with any number of sides

What distinguishes a regular polygon from an irregular one?

• Irregular polygons can have curved sides

• Regular polygons have all sides and angles equal

• Irregular polygons have all sides and angles equal

• Regular polygons have sides of varying lengths

Which formula is used to calculate the area of a square?

• Length × Width

• Width × Height

• Base × Height

• Side × Side

Can the formula for a parallelogram's area be used for squares and rectangles?

• No, it's exclusive to parallelograms

• Yes, for both squares and rectangles

• Yes, for rectangles only

• Yes, for squares only

What is a common mistake when labeling the area in square centimeters?

• Using 'cm' instead of 'cm²'

• Writing the area as a square of the number

• Omitting the unit of measurement

• Using 'm²' instead of 'cm²'

How is the area of a rectangle calculated?

• Base × Height

• All of the above

• Length × Width

• Side × Side

What is the correct way to measure the height of a parallelogram?

• Along one of the sides

• Diagonally across the shape

• Perpendicular from the base to the opposite side

• From the base to the topmost point

What is the area of a square with a side length of 6 units?

• 36 square units

• 12 square units

• 18 square units

• 24 square units

How can the area of an irregular shape be found?

• By measuring its perimeter

• By using the circle area formula

• By dividing it into rectangles or squares

• By dividing it into triangles

In calculating the area of an irregular shape, what is a valid approach?

• Ignoring spaces that can't be measured

• Only dividing it into triangles

• Estimating the area without calculations

• Subtracting the area of a smaller shape from a larger one
