Task goals
- Calculate the area of a square or rectangle from its side lengths.
- Calculate the area of a triangle or parallelogram from its given base and perpendicular height.
- Calculate the area of a triangle whose height is given as a multiple of its base, by first finding the height.
- Work backwards from a given area and base to find the missing perpendicular height of a parallelogram, in the same style as the canonical/Master Guide backward-solve sample question.
Teaching guidance
- Formulas:
- Square: Area = x2
- Rectangle/Parallelogram: Area = bh
- Triangle: Area = bh/2
- Kite: Area = (d1 x d2)/2 (product of the two diagonals, halved)
- Students should know how to be given an area and work backwards to find one of the parameters.
