This topic focuses on practicing how to identify and apply the correct formulas for calculating areas of simple shapes, such as rectangles, squares, and triangles. It tests the ability to connect the shape name with its area calculation formula. The questions are designed to challenge the understanding of how different formulas are used based on the properties and dimensions specific to each shape. Specifically, it explores the product of length and width for rectangles, squaring the side for squares, and using half the base times the height for triangles.
