Area Formulas By: Samantha Aitkens
Area of a Rectangle • Finding the area of a rectangle • Area= Base X Height • A=BXH • For Example, • Base is 8 in, Height is 11 in • A= 8 X 11 • A=88 Squared Inches • Don’t forget to square the units! 11 Inches 8 Inches
Area of a Triangle • Finding the area of a triangle • Area= ()Base X Height • For Example, • Base is 4 cm, Height is 9 cm • A= ()4 X 9 • A=18 squared centimeters • Don’t forget to square the units! 9 cms 4 cms
Area of a Circle 4 mm Full Circle • Area= X Radius Squared • A= A= 12.56 squared mm • Radius is the Diameter • Don’t Forget to Square Units! Semi-Circle • Area= X Radius Squared • A= 6.28 sq. mm • Radius is the Diameter • Don’t Forget to Square Units! 2 mm
Other Area Formulas • Parallelogram • A=BXH • Square • A= • Trapezoid
