Write the formula, substitute, then calculate. Include units.
1.A triangle has a base of 14 cm and a height of 11 cm. Find its area.
Answer: 77 cm2
- A = ½ × base × height = ½ × 14 × 11
- = 77 cm2
2.An L-shape is made from a 4 mm by 12 mm rectangle joined to a 3 mm by 14 mm rectangle. Find the total area.
Answer: 90 mm2
- Rectangle 1: 4 × 12 = 48
- Rectangle 2: 3 × 14 = 42
- Total: 48 + 42 = 90 mm2
3.A triangle has a base of 10 m and a height of 5 m. Find its area.
Answer: 25 m2
- A = ½ × base × height = ½ × 10 × 5
- = 25 m2
4.A rectangle is 21 cm long and 8 cm wide. Find its area.
Answer: 168 cm2
- A = length × width = 21 × 8
- = 168 cm2
5.A rectangle is 22 m long and 10 m wide. Find its area.
Answer: 220 m2

- Rectangle 2: 23 × 16 = 368
- Total: 476 + 368 = 844 cm2
7.An L-shape is made from a 15 m by 4 m rectangle joined to a 9 m by 6 m rectangle. Find the total area.
Answer: 114 m2
- Rectangle 1: 15 × 4 = 60
- Rectangle 2: 9 × 6 = 54
- Total: 60 + 54 = 114 m2
8.A triangle has a base of 15 m and a height of 11 m. Find its area.
Answer: 82.5 m2

Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
