Exploring Area and Perimeter of Rectangles and Parallelograms

What defines a parallelogram?

• A shape with equal sides

• A quadrilateral with no parallel sides

• A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides

• A shape with four right angles

What makes a rectangle a special type of parallelogram?

• It has four right angles

• It has two pairs of parallel sides

• It does not have parallel sides

• It has sides of equal length

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

• A = b * h

• A = 2(b + h)

• A = l + w

• A = l / w

If a parallelogram has a base of 10 cm and a height of 6 cm, what is its area?

• 30 cm²

• 60 cm²

• 16 cm²

• 100 cm²

Why can the same formula for area be used for both parallelograms and rectangles?

• Because they can both be transformed into each other

• Because they have the same perimeter

• Because they have the same number of sides

• Because they have the same volume

How can you find a missing side measurement if you know the area and one side length of a rectangle?

• Multiply the area by the known side length

• Divide the area by the known side length

• Add the area to the known side length

• Subtract the known side length from the area

If the area of a rectangle is 50 m² and one side is 5 m, what is the length of the other side?

• 45 m

• 25 m

• 10 m

• 5 m

What is the perimeter of a shape?

• The area inside the shape

• The volume of the shape

• The length of one side of the shape

• The distance around the shape

How do you calculate the perimeter of a parallelogram with sides of 8 cm and 10 cm?

• 40 cm

• 20 cm

• 36 cm

• 18 cm

What does the formula 2(L + W) represent?

• Surface area of a cube

• Volume of a quadrilateral

• Area of a rectangle

• Perimeter of a quadrilateral
