This document discusses how to find the areas of various figures like triangles and rectangles. It provides the formulas for calculating the area of a triangle based on its base and height. It also states the theorem that triangles with the same base and between the same parallels have equal areas. As an application, it asks the reader to draw triangles of equal area to given triangles in different configurations using the area-preserving property of triangles between parallels. It provides some practice problems and ends by thanking the reader.
