6.G.A.1 Tutor Intake -- Area of Triangles, Quadrilaterals, and Polygons

This short check helps your tutor see where to start. Work each problem on
your own, without a calculator unless a problem says otherwise. If you are
not sure, give your best try — every answer helps your tutor plan your
first few sessions.

Concepts

1

A rectangle on a grid is 6 units by 4 units. Cutting it along one
diagonal produces two congruent right triangles. What is the area
of ONE of those triangles?

2

A parallelogram has a base of 7 units, a perpendicular height of 4
units, and a slanted side of length 5 units. Which length should
be used as the "height" when finding the area?

B

Procedures

1

A triangle has a base of 8 units and a height (altitude) of 5
units. Find its area, in square units.

2

A parallelogram has a base of 6 units, a slanted side of 5 units,
and a perpendicular height of 4 units. What is its area, in
square units?

3

A trapezoid has parallel sides of length 6 units and 10 units,
and a height of 4 units. Find its area, in square units.
