A first look
This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.
Question 1 of 3
A classroom rug is made of 1‑cm squares. It looks like a 4 cm × 4 cm square but the lower‑right corner that is 2 cm × 2 cm is cut out, leaving an L‑shaped piece. How many square centimetres are in the area of the rug?
Question 2 of 3
A shape is formed by attaching a right triangle to a rectangle. The rectangle is 10 cm long and 5 cm wide. The right triangle shares its 5‑cm leg with the rectangle’s width and has the other leg 6 cm long. What is the area of the combined shape in square centimeters?
Question 3 of 3
The shape is formed by a rectangle that is 8 cm long and 5 cm wide. A right triangle is attached to one of the 8‑cm sides of the rectangle; the triangle’s base is the same 8 cm side and its height is 3 cm. What is the area of the entire shape in square centimeters?
