Question 5.
Michael wants to place grass on the sides of his lap pool. Find the area of the shaded regions that he wants to cover with grass.

________ yd²

Answer: 204 yd²

Explanation:
The area of the shaded region can be found by finding the total area and subtracting the area of the lap pool.
Total area = Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × distance between them
Sum of parallel sides = 25 yd + (3 + 12) = 40 yd
Distance between them = 12 yd
Total area = 1/2 × 40 × 12 = 240 yd²
Find the area of the lap pool.
Area = length × width = 12 × 3 = 36 yd²
Find the area of the shaded region
Area to be covered with grass = 240 – 36 = 204 yd²

Question 11.
Which expressions can be used to find the area of the trapezoid? Mark all that apply.

Options:
a. \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (5 + 2) × 4.5
b. \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (2 + 4.5) × 5
c. \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (5 + 4.5) × 2
d. \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (6.5) × 5

Answer: \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (2 + 4.5) × 5

Explanation:
b1 = 4.5 in
b2 = 2
h = 5 in
We know that,
Area of trapezoid = (b1 + b2)h/2
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (2 + 4.5) × 5
Thus the correct answer is option B.

Question 12.
Name the polygon and find its area. Show your work.

Type below:
_______________

Answer: 31 sq. in.

Explanation:
b = 5 in
h = 6.2 in
The area of the triangle is bh/2
A = (5 × 6.2)/2
A = 31/2
A = 15.5 sq. in
There are 2 triangles.
To find the area of the regular polygon we have to multiply the area of the triangle and number of triangles.
A = 15.5 × 2 = 31

Question 16.
Alex wants to enlarge a 4-ft by 6-ft vegetable garden by multiplying the dimensions of the garden by 2.
Part A
Find each area.
Area of original garden : ________ ft²
Area of enlarged garden : ________ ft²

Answer:
B = 4 ft
w = 6 ft
Area of original garden = 4 ft × 6 ft
A = 24 sq. ft
Now multiply 2 to base and width
b = 4 × 2 = 8 ft
w = 6 × 2 = 12 ft
Area of original garden = bw
A = 8 ft × 12 ft
A = 96 sq. ft

Question 18.
Look at the figure below. The area of the parallelogram and the areas of the two congruent triangles formed by a diagonal are related. If you know the area of the parallelogram, how can you find the area of one of the triangles?

Type below:
_______________

Answer:
Each of the diagonals of a parallelogram divides it into two congruent triangles, as we saw when we proved properties like that the opposite sides are equal to each other or that the two pairs of opposite angles are congruent. Since those two triangles are congruent, their areas are equal.
We also saw that the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other, and so create two additional pairs of congruent triangles.
When comparing the ratio of areas of triangles, we often look for an equal base or an equal height.
