Sample questions
- All lengths are in meters. The dashed corner is missing from the solid-outlined floor. Find the floor area by subtracting a rectangle.
- Find the area of the solid-outlined shape. A student added the dashed missing corner instead of subtracting it. Explain the error.
- A 12-by-7 meter rectangle has a 2-by-3 meter corner removed. Draw and solve using two different decompositions. Explain why they agree.
- A 9-by-7 meter rectangle has a 3-by-3 meter corner removed. Draw and solve using two different decompositions. Explain why they agree.
