| Area of a Square | Area = side X side A=sXs or Area= length X width A=lw |
| Area of a Rectangle | Area= base X height A=bh or Area= length X width A=lw |
| Area of a Triangle | Area= base X height divided by 2 A=bh/2 or Area= 1/2 base X height A=1/2 bh |
| Area of a Parallelogram | Area = base X height A=bh |
| Area s measured in __________ units | Square units !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| When finding area of a triangle make sure you are multiplying base X height | not the length of the side unless its a right angle |
| Composite figures | Shapes made up of more than one polygon. For example a house can be a triangle and a rectangle. |
| If a rectangle has a base of 8in and a height of 4in what is the area? | Area = 32in sq. A = 8 X 4 |
| If a triangle has a base of 12 ft and a height of 6 ft whats the area? | A = 12 X 6 divided by 2 A = 36 ft sq. |
| A Parallelogram in the shape of a kite has all sides that measure 4 ft and a height of 3 ft Area= ? | A = 4 X 3 Area = 12 ft sq. |
| Strategy to solve area problems | draw it out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
