What you practice

These are the Grade 6 Area & Surface Area skills this quiz is built around.

Find triangle area with A = 1/2 × base × height.
Find parallelogram area with base times perpendicular height.
Find surface area of a rectangular prism by summing face areas or using 2(lw + lh + wh).

A useful tip

Height is perpendicular to the base, not a slanted side. A leaning parallelogram with base 8 and perpendicular height 5 has area 40, even if the slanted side is longer than 5.
