• 2 x (Length + Width)

If a rectangle has a base of 8 units and a height of 4 units, what is its area?

• 24 square units

• 12 square units

• 32 square units

• 16 square units

How is the area of a triangle related to the area of a rectangle?

• It is half the area of the rectangle.

• It is one-fourth the area of the rectangle.

• It is the same as the area of the rectangle.

• It is double the area of the rectangle.

Using a base of 8 units and height of 4 units, what is the area of the triangle?

• Adding the two measurements

• Subtracting one from the other

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

• 1/2 x (Base1 - Base2) x Height

• (Base1 + Base2) / Height

• 1/2 x (Base1 + Base2) x Height
