The document discusses how to calculate the area of different shapes including squares, rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids, and circles. It provides the formulas for calculating area and works through examples of finding the area given specific measurements of sides or diameters. Key formulas include: the area of a square is s2; the area of a rectangle is length x width; the area of a parallelogram is base x height; the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height; the area of a trapezoid is 1/2 x (base1 + base2) x height; and the area of a circle is πr2.

5. AREA of a RECTANGLE
How many square units will be used to cover
a rectangular region whose length is 4 units
and width is 3 units long?
Area = 4 units x 3 units = 12 units2
The formula is:
Area =l × w
where: w = width

26. Let’s Summarize
1. The area of a region is the number of square units
contained in the region.
2. A square unit is a square with a side 1 unit in length.
The area (A) of a rectangle is the product of its length
(l) and its width (w). A = lw
3. The area (A) of a square is the square of the length
of a side (s). A = s2
4. The area (A) of a parallelogram is equal to the
product of the base (b) and the height (h). A = bh

27. 5. The area (A) of a triangle equals half the product of
the base (b) and the height (h). A = ½ bh. Sometimes
altitude is used instead of height.
6. The area (A) of a trapezoid is one half the product of
the length of its altitude and the sum of the lengths of
the two bases. A = ½ h (b1 + b1).
7. A circle is a set of points in a plane that have the
same distance from a given point in the plane.
8.The formula for the area of a circle with a radius of r
and diameter of d units are: A = r2 and A = (d/2)2
respectively.
Note: In all circles the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is always equal to the
same number, represented by the Greek letter .
