Area and Homework












Area

  • The number of square units contained (inside) in a two dimensional shape.
- this square has an area of 4 units


  • Area is the surface space takes up

Area of square or rectangle
- Length * width = area
- L * W = area= 18 cm Area = L* W
Area = 6*3
= 18cm Squared

Parallelogram
- A 4 sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal.

Lines are hashmarks that are equal













Arrows are parallel to each other



base
- A side of a two dimentional closed figure (shape) (b)

A base is any side of a closed figure.
















Height
-
the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

(h)















Area of parallelogram formula

A=b*h


Base (b) is 5 cm and height (h) 3 cm. Plug these values into the formula.

A=b*h
A=5*3
A=15 cm squared

















Find the area of this parallelogram:
A=b*h
Area=2*8
A=16 cm squared



Find the area of this parallelogram:

















A=b*h
A=12*4
A=48 m squared

  2. Great post. I think you could put it all closer together so it could take up less space. It looks like you went to paint for the pictures, cool.

  3. Great post Paul! I loved how you put pictures and a video but next time don't put such a big space in between because its hard to see all of it at once! Everything else was awesome!

  10. Awesome post Paul!
    I love how you drew your own pictures it's really cool. I like your video and link. It was really helpful to me. But you could have made all the printing the same size because it is harder to read if it is BIG small BIG small BIG small see what i mean. and also some of it is two small so i would go with the printing were it says "base(b)is 5cm and height(h)3cm. Plug these values into the formula" get it it is the perfect size. Also i like how you changed the colors of height, base, and parallelogram that was smart so we know what the topic is. but i don't really like how you put the words on the side it is more confusing that way. also you should have put the homework before you started and not with your notes. But overall great post and once again it's great how you drew your own picture it's very good because i have never seen that (even though i have only seen them since like late September)it's really cool. Great Job!

  18. Great post Paul, the pictures were very helpful,even though you had to draw them yourself. I think the font size for the definition of area was a little too big,but other than that this post was done fairly well.

  20. Very good post Paul,I liked your pictures it sure is helpful and your video also helps.But I hope next time you do it you could make some of letters smaller because the font was kind the big.Other then that nice post!

  21. Awesome post Paul! I really liked the website. I think that if you did not understand how to get the area of a figure than that site would help you a lot. But I think the video was more about how to get the area of a 3 dimensional shape instead of a two dimensional one. But other than that great work!

  22. Nice post Paul. I really like the pictures you drew. It's cool that you made your own pictures. This will really help someone who doesn't know anything about areas. I also like your video and the link you gave us. Next time don't make the font so big, but other than that, really great job.
