P5/P6 Math: Figure of 2 Overlapping Triangles
2 overlapping triangles sharing the same base but with different heights shares a common overlapped area.
Such questions requires students to know that the sum of the area of both triangles will definitely be more than the actual area of the figure shown.
Such questions are common in Paper 1 of P5/P6 exam papers.
Calculator usage is not allowed.

P5/P6 Math: Stacked Rectangles with Overlapping Triangle
A few identical smaller rectangles are stacked(combined) to form a larger rectangle.
From the larger rectangle, a triangle is drawn from the same dimensions, with part of the triangle, overlapping the large rectangle. ( as shown in the question below).Such questions can appear in both Paper 1 and Paper 2 of P5 or P6 Math exams.
Calculator may be allowed if double digit long division needs to be carried out.

P6 Math: Overlapping Areas of 2 Shapes ( Triangle and Rectangle )
This question type presents 2 overlapping shapes.
The areas of both shapes are not given but certain dimensions of the shapes are given.
The question will ask for the area difference between 2 non-overlapped regions.
Such questions are common in both paper 1 and paper 2 of P6 exam papers.
Calculator is allowed if such questions appear in Paper 2.

P6 Math: Overlapping Shapes with Ratios
The following question presents 2 shapes that are overlapping each other.
Such overlapping shapes questions often appear in P6 Paper 2.
Calculator usage is allowed.
The comparison of each whole shape's area with another is respresented using a ratio.
The ratio of the are that is not overlapping each other is also provided.
