Area of 2D Shapes Worksheet
This worksheet will help you practice calculating the area of different two-dimensional shapes.
Instructions:
- For each shape, use the appropriate formula to calculate the area.
- Show your work clearly.
- Round your answers to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Formulas:
- Rectangle: Area = length x width
- Square: Area = side x side
- Triangle: Area = (base x height) / 2
- Circle: Area = π x radius² (where π ≈ 3.14)
- Parallelogram: Area = base x height
- Trapezoid: Area = (base₁ + base₂) / 2 x height
