Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 5 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 4

The shape is a triangle.

Area of Square
A = s2
A = (6 units)2
A = 36 units2

Area of Triangle 1

A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (1 unit) (6 units)
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (6 units2)
A = 3 units2

Area of Triangle 2

A = \(\frac{1}{2}\)bh
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (6 units)(3 units)
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (18 units2)
A = 9 units2

Area of Triangle 3

A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (5 units) (3 units)
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (15 units2)
A = 7.5 units2

Total Area of Triangle
A = 36 units2 – 3 units2 – 9 units2 – 7.5 units2
A = 16.5 units2

Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 5 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 6

This polygon has 4 sides and has no pairs of parallel sides.
Therefore, the best name for this shape is a quadrilateral.
To determine the area, I will separate the shape into two
triangles.
Area of Triangle 1
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (6 units) (3 units)
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (18 units2)
A = 9 units2

Area of Triangle 2
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (2 units) (2 units)
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (4 units2)
A = 2 units2

Total Area = 9 units2 + 2 units2
Total Area = 11 units2

Question 4.
Plot and connect the following points: P(1, -4), Q(5, -2), R(9, -4), S(7, -8), and T(3, -8). Give the best name for the polygon, and determine the area.

Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 5 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 7

Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 5 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 8
To determine the area, I will decompose this pentagon into four smaller shapes.

Area of Shape 1
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (8 units)(2 units)
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (16 units2)
A = 8 units2

Area of Shape 2 and Shape 4
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (4 units)(2 units)
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (8 units2)
A = 4 units2

Because there are two of the same triangle, that makes a total of 8 units2.

Area of Shape 3
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (4 units) (4 units)
A = 16 units2
Total Area = 8 units2 + 8 units2 + 16 units2
Total Area = 32 units2

Question 5.
Two of the coordinates of a rectangle are A (3, 7) and B (3, 2). The rectangle has an area of 30 square units. Give the possible locations of the other two vertices by identifying their coordinates. (Use the coordinate plane to draw and check your answer.)
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 5 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 9
Answer:
Eureka Math Grade 6 Module 5 Lesson 8 Example Answer Key 10

One possible location of the other two vertices is (9, 2) and (9, 7). Using these coordinates will result in a distance, or side length, of 6 units. Since the height is 5 units, 5 units × 6 units = 30 units2.

Another possible location of the other two vertices is (-3, 2) and (-3, 7). Using these coordinates will result in a distance, or side length, of 6 units. Since the height is 5 units, 5 units × 6 units = 30 units2.

Expression: (12)(8) – \(\frac{1}{2}\) (4)(10) – \(\frac{1}{2}\) (8)(2) – \(\frac{1}{2}\) (4)(12)
The first term in the expression is the area of a rectangle around the outside of the figure. Then we subtracted all of the extra areas with the next three terms.

The two expressions are different because of the way we divided up the figure. In the first expression, we split the shape into two triangles that had to be added together to get the whole. In the second expression, we enclosed the triangle inside a new figure and then had to subtract the extra area.
