1, b, c, d
For all the remaining questions it is easier to find the answers when you 'draw' out the figure and label the known measurements. Remember to use the appropriate formulas to find the area of a shape, make sure you pay attention to 'bottoms' and the number of sides. Use the formula for right triangles as needed, multiply by the number of 'right triangles' to cover all the sides.
