Grade 6 Mathematics | Independent Practice
1. Base = 10 cm, Height = 6 cm
Area = cm^2
2. Base = 14 in, Height = 9 in
Area = in^2
3. Base = 8.5 m, Height = 4 m
Area = m^2
4. Base = 15 ft, Height = 12 ft
Area = ft^2
5. Parallelogram: Base = 12 cm, Height = 7 cm
Area = cm^2
6. Trapezoid: Base 1 = 8 in, Base 2 = 14 in, Height = 6 in
Area = in^2
7. Parallelogram: Base = 9.5 m, Height = 8 m
Area = m^2
8. Trapezoid: Base 1 = 5 ft, Base 2 = 11 ft, Height = 4 ft
Area = ft^2
9. Length = 6 cm, Width = 4 cm, Height = 3 cm
Surface Area = 2(___x___) + 2(___x___) + 2(___x___) = cm^2
10. Length = 10 in, Width = 5 in, Height = 8 in
Surface Area = in^2
11. A cube has sides of 7 cm each. (Hint: all sides are equal!)
Surface Area = cm^2
12. L = 5 cm, W = 4 cm, H = 6 cm
Volume = cm^3
13. L = 12 in, W = 3 in, H = 4 in
Volume = in^3
14. L = 8 m, W = 8 m, H = 2 m
Volume = m^3
15. A cube with side = 5 ft
Volume = ft^3
16. A triangular sail has a base of 4 meters and a height of 6 meters. How much fabric is needed to make the sail?
Answer:
17. A shipping box measures 15 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 8 inches tall. How much cardboard is needed to make the box? (Find surface area)

Answer:
19. A garden bed shaped like a trapezoid has parallel sides of 6 feet and 10 feet, with a height of 4 feet. What is the area of the garden bed?
Answer:
20. A rectangular prism has a volume of 120 cubic cm. The length is 6 cm and the width is 4 cm. What is the height?
Height = cm
Hint: If V = l x w x h, then h = V / (l x w)
