Bahrain (Area of Rectangles and Triangles)
We are the geometry experts at Sara’s Flags. Sara uses high-quality, weather-resistant fabric to make our flags, and it is our job to ensure that we have enough fabric. Sara is adding more flags to the catalog and has asked us to calculate how much fabric each flag requires. Today, we will focus on Bahrain. What is the area of each color of the Bahraini flag?
Beginner
Czechia (Area of Trapezoids and Triangles)

Gravel (Area of Composites)
We are going to the garden center to buy pea gravel for our yard. We have created a blueprint for the yard design. We want gravel around the patio, firepit, pavers, and fountain. Each 50-lb bag of pea gravel we would like to buy will cover about 3 square feet. How many bags do we need?

Wallpaper (Intro to Surface Area)
Nia and Andrew have a gray wall in their home. They agreed it needs some color but need help deciding what paint color to get. Andrew suggests hanging wallpaper instead of painting it, which Nia thinks is an excellent idea. How many rolls will we need to cover this wall?
