Practice Problems

Try them, get help one step at a time, then print how it went.

Practice: try it, then get help one step at a time

Perimeters, areas of rectangles and triangles with the altitude check, and the box method. Hint gives a nudge, Show next step shows one worked step at a time, Reveal answer checks, and Hide help / start over clears the card.

  1. 6 + 8 + 10 = 24.
  2. One half of 15 times 5 is 37.5 square units.
  3. That D is on the base (same slope from the same point) and that CD is perpendicular to it (negative reciprocal slopes).
  4. Draw the smallest rectangle around the shape along the grid lines and find its area. Subtract the right triangles in the corners.
