Stepping up from rectangles, this Grade 5 worksheet introduces parallelogram area (base times height) and trapezoid area through decomposition into rectangles and triangles. Word problems anchor formulas in garden plots, classroom floors, soccer fields, and parallelogram tiles. A matching task pairs each shape with its computed area, helping Grade 5 students connect formulas to numbers and recognize when to multiply, decompose, or add the parts.
Style:
Perimeter, Area, and Surface Area
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A parallelogram has base 12 cm and height 7 cm; its area is 84 square centimeters.
2. A garden plot shaped like a parallelogram has base 9 m and height 5 m; area is 45 square meters.
3. A trapezoid splits into a rectangle (4 by 6) and a triangle (base 3, height 4); total area is 30 square units.
4. A classroom floor is a parallelogram with base 20 ft and height 15 ft; area is 300 square feet.
5. A soccer field section is a parallelogram with base 50 m and height 30 m; area is 1500 square meters.
6. A trapezoid with parallel sides 8 and 12 and height 5 has area 50 square units.
7. A parallelogram tile has base 6 in and height 4 in; area is 24 square inches.
8. Decomposing a trapezoid into two triangles with areas 9 and 16 gives total area 25 square units.
9. A parallelogram-shaped flag has base 24 cm and height 10 cm; area is 240 square centimeters.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
