Triangle Square
Area = ½ × b × h 2
b = base Area = a
h = vertical height a = length of side

Rectangle Parallelogram
Area = w × h Area = b × h
w = width b = base
h = height h = vertical height

Trapezoid (US) Circle


Trapezium (UK) Area = l × r2
Area = ½(a+b) × h Circumference = 2 × ? × r
h = vertical height r = radius

Sector
Ellipse
Area = ½ × r2 × ?
Area = l ab r = radius
?= angle in radians

Note: h is at right angles to b:

Example: What is the area of this rectangle?

The formula is:

Area = w × h
w = width
h = height

We know w = 5 and h = 3 , so:

Area = 5 × 3 = 15

Example: What is the area of this circle?

Radius = r = 3

l
Area = × r2

=l × 32
=l × (3 × 3)
= 3.14159... × 9

= 28.27 (to 2 decimal places)

Example: What is the area of this triangle?

Height = h = 12

Base = b = 20

Area = ½ × b × h = ½ × 20 × 12 = 120

A harder example:

Example: Sam cuts grass at $0.10 per square meter

How much does Sam earn cutting this area:

Let's break the area into two parts:

Part A is a square:

Area of A = a2 = 20m × 20m = 400m2


Part B is a triangle. Viewed sideways it has a base of 20m and a height of 14m.

Area of B = ½b × h = ½ × 20m × 14m = 140m2


So the total area is:

Area = Area of A + Area of B = 400m2 + 140m2 = 540m2

Sam earns $0.10 per square meter

Sam earns = $0.10 × 540m2 = $54
