Area Flashcard

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula: Area = length × width.

The area of a parallelogram is found using the formula: Area = base × height.

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: Area = (base × height) / 2.

A composite shape is a shape that is made up of two or more simple shapes.

To find the area of a composite shape, calculate the area of each simple shape and then sum them up.

The area of a square is calculated using the formula: Area = side × side.

Area is measured in square units, such as cm², m², or ft².

Area = length × width = 5m × 4m = 20m².

Area = base × height = 8cm × 4cm = 32cm².

Area = (base × height) / 2 = (10cm × 5cm) / 2 = 25cm².
