Bracket Boards and Score Graphics

Find the area needed for each design. Use perpendicular heights, and ignore cutting waste unless a question says otherwise.

The shaded T-shaped panel holds the championship bracket. The rectangles meet along an edge without overlapping. Each grid square represents 1 dm².

What is the panel's total area? dm²

A parallelogram label identifies the winning team on the bracket board. Its area is 54 cm², and its base is 9 cm.

What is the perpendicular height of the label? cm
