What is Area?
Area is the “space” that is defined by the “pe(rim)eter”.
All shapes that are “2-d” or “two-dimensional” have Area.

How do I Find Area?
Do you know how to Find the AREA of..– Squares & Rectangles?– Triangles?– Circles?
If not, that’s a-ok, I’ll tell how on the next page

Square /
Rectangle
bh = A(and another formula for the Square).
bh = A6 x 3 =A
18 =A
Triangle ½ (bh)= A
Or

Squares & Rectangles
A Square has all the same length on all sides. – The area Formula for the square is “ “
A Rectangle has 2 sets of parallel lines , and each set has their own length.
The area formula for the rectangle is “ “

Triangles
If you take a Square or rectangle, and place a Triangle on top of it, the area around the triangle would equal the area that was IN the triangle. ( give it a try).
HINT: Make sure you
½ the area after you have multiplied the Base (b) & Height (h) out.
Formula: ½(bh) = A or “ “.
The Base is the bottom of the triangle.
The Height is the Highest point of the triangle to the base… (look at the diagram on the
next page for more help).

When the circle chows the Diameter, you still need to 1st find the radius. And square the radius. ( Or your answer will be WRONG!)
