Example 1:: Square Root of 144 12 CM

The document provides example problems and solutions for calculating areas and dimensions of various geometric shapes such as rectangles, triangles, squares, and irregular shapes using formulas like area of a rectangle (length x width), area of a triangle (1/2 x base x height), and the Pythagorean theorem. The problems involve finding missing lengths, widths, or areas given certain measurements or the total area. The solutions demonstrate setting up and solving equations to arrive at the final numeric answer.

Answer keys. Pre Surveying.

Example 1:

A rectangular city block is divided into 56 square plots of equal size. If there are 14 plots along the
length of the block, how many plots are there along the width of the block?
This is an area problem where the "unit" is a square plot. The city block is a rectangle with area 56 ,
and the length is 14 . Substitute in the formula.
56=w×14
Divide both sides by 14.
4=w
So, the city block is 4 plots wide.
Example 2:
Carlos is surveying a plot of land in the shape of a right triangle. The area of the land
is 45,000 square meters. If one leg of the triangular plot is 180 meters long, what is the other leg of
the triangle?
This is an area problem involving the formula for a triangle. Since it's a right triangle, one leg can be
considered as the base, and the other as the height. Substitute 45000 for A and 180 for b in the
formula.
45000=12(180)h
Simplify.

45000=90h
Divide both sides by 90.
4500090=h
500=h
The other leg of the triangle is 500

3. Jason built a rectangular tool shed that is 8 meters wide and has an area of 96 square meters.

What is the length of Jason’s tool shed? = 12 meters

4. The area of a square is 144 square centimeters. What is the length of one side of the square?
Square root of 144 = 12 cm
5. The perimeter of a rectangle is 32 centimeters. The width is 7 centimeters.
What is the area of the rectangle?
Ans. 63 square cm

6. Marga has 24 meters of wood to build a fence around her garden. She wants to create the largest area
possible. Which dimensions will give Margo the largest area?

a. 6 meters by 6 meters b. 10 meters by 2 meters c. 8 meters by 4 meters


6x 6=36 sq.m

7. Steve built a square hamster pen that has a perimeter of 240 centimeters.
What is the length of one side of Steve's hamster pen? 240/4 = 60

8. The area of a rectangle is 117 square meters. The width is 29. 52 ft. If in every 1 meter is 3.28 feet, what is
the length of the rectangle in meter unit?
A = L x W, convert first 29.52 ft. in meters (which is 9 m). use the conversion 1m = 3.28 ft.
9. Determine the distance between points A and B using Pythagorean theorem.
Solution: AB= (252 + 352)1/2
= 43.01
10. What is the area of the blue zone?

he area of the blue zone is half of the rectangle's area.


Area = (L × W) ÷ 2 = (12 × 9) ÷ 2 = 108 ÷ 2 = 54 m2

11. On a field whose length is 25 meters and width is 12 meters a house was built the shape of a
square whose side is 9 meters. What's the area of the garden?

The field is a rectangle whose length is 25 meters and


width is 12 meters. The area is L × W = 25 × 12 = 25 × 4
× 3 = 100 × 3 = 300 m2
The field covered by the house is a square with the side of
9 meters. The area is 9 × 9 = 81 m2
The garden's area will be 300 - 81 = 219 m2
