    Study Notes

    Area in Geometry

    • The area of an object is the size of its surface, which is the space that a flat object occupies.
    • The area of a block is 1 cm x 1 cm, which is equal to 1 square centimeter.

    Area Formulas

    • Square: The area of a square is given by A = l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.
    • Rectangle: The area of a rectangle is given by A = l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.
    • Triangles: The area of a triangle is given by A = (b x h) / 2, where b is the base and h is the height.
    • Circle: The area of a circle is given by A = πr^2, where π is the mathematical constant 3.14159 and r is the radius.
    • Parallelogram: The area of a parallelogram is given by A = b x h, where b is the base and h is the height.
    • Trapezium: The area of a trapezium is given by A = (a + b) x h / 2, where a and b are the two bases, and h is the height.

    Solving Area Problems

    • To find the area of a complex shape, break it down into smaller known shapes.
    • Calculate the area of each shape using the corresponding formula.
    • Add the areas of each shape to find the total area.

    Real-Life Applications

    • Example 1: Calculating the area of tiling around a swimming pool involves finding the area of the pool and adding the area of the tiling.
    • Example 2: Calculating the total area to be tiled for a mosaic giraffe involves breaking down the shape into geometric parts and finding the area of each part.
