Study Notes

  • Chapter Six focuses on finding the area of rectangles, squares, and triangles.
  • Competencies developed in this chapter can be applied to building constructions, textile and dressmaking, and various real-life applications.

The Concept of Area

  • Area refers to the surface region of a shape.
  • Area is determined by dividing a shape into equal squares, counting them, or using formulas and measurements.
  • Area is measured in metric units, including square meters (m²), square centimeters (cm²), and square millimeters (mm²).

Area of a Rectangle

  • The area of a rectangle is the entire surface region enclosed within its boundaries.
  • To calculate the area of a rectangle, multiply its length by its width (Area = length × width).
  • Example: A book with a length of 30 cm and a width of 20 cm has a surface area of 600 cm².
  • Example: A rectangle is 9 cm long and 5 cm wide, its area is 45 cm².
  • Example: A rectangle with a width of 40 cm and a length of 90 cm has an area of 3600 cm².

Area of a Square

  • Area of a square is obtained by multiplying the length by the width of the square
  • Recall that all sides of a square have equal length
  • Area of a square = length x width or length x length
  • Example: A square that is 9 cm long and 9 cm wide, has an area of 81cm^2
  • Example: A square field that is 70 metres has a area of the field of 4900m^2

Area of a Triangle

  • The area of a triangle is the surface region enclosed within its boundaries.
  • The area of a triangle is calculated as half of the product of its base and height (Area = ½ × height × base).
  • Example: A triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 7 cm has an area of 35 cm².
  • Example: A triangle with a height of 15m and a base of 30m is 225m^2
  • Example: A triangle with a height of 12cm and a base of 26cm, has an area of 156cm^2
