Study Notes
Area
- Area is the space inside a shape, while perimeter is the space around it.
- Area can be measured using square units.
- To find the area of a square or rectangle, multiply the length by the width.
- The answer for area is always squared, indicating square units.
Calculating Area
- The area of a square with a side length of 3 centimeters is 9 square centimeters (3 cm x 3 cm = 9 cm²).
- The area of a rectangle that is 6 feet long and 1 foot wide is 6 square feet (6 ft x 1 ft = 6 ft²).
- The area of a rectangle that is 4 meters long and 2 meters wide is 8 square meters (4 m x 2 m = 8 m²).
Tip
- Different formulas are used to calculate the area of circles and triangles.
