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
