When a Figure is made from different shapes, the area of the figure is the sum of the areas of the pieces.
Area Addition Postulate
Postulate 1: The area of a region is equal to the sum of the areas of non-overlapping parts.

Recall that a rectangle with base b and height h has an area of A = bh. You can use the Area Addition Postulate
to see that a parallelogram has the same area as a rectangle with the same base and height.

6 in
h5 in
3 inStep 1: Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height h.
32 + h2 = 52
h = 4
Step 2: Use h to find the area of parallelogram.
A = bhA = 6(4)A = 24 in2
Area of a parallelogram.Substitute 6 for b and 4 for h.Simplify.
CONFIDENTIAL 7
B) the height of a rectangle in which b = 5 cm and A = (5x2 – 5x) cm2.
A = bh
5x2 – 5x = 5(h)
5(x2 – x) = 5(h)
x2 – x = h
h = (x2 – x) cm
Area of a rectangle .
Substitute (5x2 – 5x) for A and 5 for b.
Factor 5 out of the expression for A.
Divide both sides by 5.
Sym. Prop. of =.
CONFIDENTIAL 8
C) the perimeter of a rectangle in which A = 12x ft2.
A = bh
12x = 6(b)
2x = b
Area of a rectangle .
Substitute 12x for A and 6 for h.
Divide both sides by 6.
Perimeter of a rectangle
Substitute 2x for A and 6 for h.
Step 1: Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height h.
P= 2b + 2h
P = 2(2x) +2(6)
P = (4x +12) ft
Step 2: Use the base and height to find the perimeter.

To understand the formula for the area of a triangle or trapezoid, notice that the two congruent triangles or
two congruent trapezoids fit together to form a parallelogram. Thus the area of a triangle or a
trapezoid is half the area of the related parallelogram.

square has a side length of 1 cm, so the diagonal is √2 cm. The perimeter of the
red square is P = 4s = 4 √2 cm.
