4. Area
 is the quantity that expresses the
extent of a two-dimensional figure
or shape in the plane.

5. Area
 It can be understood as the amount
of material with a given thickness that
would be necessary to fashion a model
of the shape, or the amount
of paint necessary to cover the surface
with a single coat.

6. When you measure the amount
of carpet to cover the floor of a
room, you measure it in square
units.
Would the area of your
bedroom or the area of
your house be greater?

7. The area of your house is
greater than the area of your
bedroom.

8. Lets find the area of this surface if each square is equal to one foot.
Count the number of squares.
Area = 15 square feet

four straight sides and
four right angles,
especially one with
unequal adjacent sides,
in contrast to a square.

23. Area of a Parallelogram

24. Parallelogram
is a flat shape with
opposite sides parallel
and equal in length.

25. You find the area
of a
parallelogram by
multiplying the
base by it’s
height.

27. Area of a Triangle

28. Finding the area of a triangle is different.
Area of a triangle = ½ (base x height)
***(Base x height) is the same as (length x width).***
A triangle is half of a
rectangle or square. This is
because the base (4) x the
height (3) would be the
same as the length x the
width of a rectangle.

is a 4-sided flat shape
with straight sides that
has a pair of opposite
sides parallel.
Trapezoid Isosceles trapezoid

a round plane figure
whose boundary (the
circumference) consists
of points equidistant
from a fixed point (the
center).

Solving

40. A small square is located inside
a bigger square. The length of
one side of the small square is
3 inches and the length of one
side of the big square is 7
inches
What is the area of the region
located outside the small
square, but inside the big
square?
The area that you are looking for is
everything is red. So you need to remove
the area of the small square from the
area of the big square. Use the formula.
Area of big square = s2 = 72 = 49 in2
Area of small square = s2 = 32 = 92
Area of the region in red =49 in2-9 in2 =
40 in2

41. A room whose area
is 24 ft2 has a length
that is 2 feet longer
than the width.
What are the
dimensions of the
room?
Let width = x,
so length = x + 2
Area = length × width
24 = x ( x + 2)
24 = x2 + 2x
x2 + 2x = 24
x2 + 2x - 24 = 0
( x + 6) × ( x - 4 ) = 0
x = -6 and x = 4
So width = 4 feet and length = 4 + 2 = 6 feet

42. Another problem:
The length of a page in a book is 2 cm greater
than the width of the page. A book designer finds
that if the length is increased by 2 cm and the
width is by 1 cm, the area of the page is increased
by 19 cm2. What are the dimensions of the
original page?

43. Answer:
Let width = x,
So length = x + 2 cm
Aoriginal = (x+2)(x)
Aoriginal = x2 + 2x
Increase:
width = x+1cm
length = (x + 2) +2 cm = x+4cm
Anew = length × width
Aoriginal + 19 cm2 =(x +4)( x + 1)
Aoriginal + 19 cm2 = x2 + 5x + 4
Aoriginal = x2 + 5x + 4 – 19
Aoriginal = x2 + 5x – 15
Aoriginal = Aoriginal
x2 + 2x = x2 + 5x – 15
x2 + 5x – 15 – x2 – 2x = 0
3x – 15 = 0
3x = 15 (divide both side by 3)
x = 5
Length = x + 2cm
= 5cm + 2cm
Length= 7 cm
Width = 5 cm
The dimensions of the original page is 7 cm by 5 cm.

44. Now try this problems
1.A classroom has a length of 20 feet and a width of 30
feet. The headmaster decided that tiles will look good in
that class. If each tile has a length of 24 inches and a
width of 36 inches, how many tiles are needed to fill the
classroom?
2. A square garden with a side length of 150 m has a
square swimming pool in the very centre with a side
length of 25 m . Calculate the area of the garden.

45. 3. A rectangular garden has dimensions of 30 m by 20 m
and is divided in to 4 parts by two pathways that run
perpendicular from its sides. One pathway has a width of
8 dm and the other, 7 dm. Calculate the total usable area
of the garden.
4. Calculate the area of the quadrilateral that results from
drawing lines between the midpoints of the sides of a
rectangle whose base and height are 8 and 6 cm
respectively.

46. A line connects the midpoint of BC (Point E), with Point
