This power point discusses quadrilaterals like squares and rectangles. It defines a square as a quadrilateral with four equal sides and right angles, while a rectangle has two sets of parallel sides but its sides are not all equal lengths. The document explains that the area of any quadrilateral is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. Several examples are provided to demonstrate how to find the area of different quadrilaterals.

1. Power Point on Area- 5th
Grade

2. What is a Quadrilateral?

3. A figure that has 4 sides and 4 angles
Example
Square
Rectangle

4. A Square is???
A quadrilateral with all right angles
Which means there are 2 sets of
parallel lines
All lines are equal (or the same size)

5. A Rectangle is???
A quadrilateral with all right angles.
Which means there are 2 sets of
parallel lines
One set of parallel lines will be
longer than the other

6. What is the Area of a
Quadrilateral?
Length times Width
You may see it shown like this
A = L x W

7. L
W

8. How we calculate “area” for a quadrilateral
L
10
W 6
L=10 blocks W= 6 blocks
L x W = Area
10 x 6 = 60 Area = 60
