Exploring Polygons on the Coordinate Plane

What is the area of a shape?

• The length of the shape

• The amount of space inside the shape

• The distance around the shape

• The width of the shape

How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?

• Add all sides

• Multiply the base by the height

• Divide the base by the height

• Multiply all sides

What unit is used to measure area when dimensions are not specified?

• Centimeters squared

• Units squared

• Inches squared

• Meters squared

What is the perimeter of a shape?

• The width of the shape

• The length of the shape

• The amount of space inside the shape

• The distance around the shape

What common mistake is made when calculating perimeter?

• Multiplying instead of adding

• Counting squares instead of length

• Ignoring the width of the shape

• Adding instead of multiplying

How can complex shapes be simplified for area calculation?

• By dividing them into circles

• By dividing them into triangles

• By ignoring complex parts

• By dividing them into rectangles

What is the area of the top rectangle if its base is 9 units and height is 2 units?

• 11 square units

• 18 square units

• 7 square units

• 4 square units

What is the total area of a shape divided into two rectangles with areas of 18 and 24 square units?

• 52 square units

• 48 square units

• 36 square units

• 42 square units

How do you ensure accuracy when calculating the perimeter of complex shapes?

• By ensuring the count matches the number of sides

• By only counting the visible sides

• By guessing the length of hidden sides

• By adding the length of all sides twice

What shape is described if it has six sides and a perimeter calculation is demonstrated?

• Triangle

• Rectangle

• Hexagon

• Octagon
