The Square Area = l x b
b
e.g. Find the area of a square of side 3.5 cm.
Discuss and work outthis example
together with your friend.
A = l x b
A = 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm
= 12.25 cm2

The Rectangle Area = l x b
l
b
e.g. Find the area of a rectangle of length 3.5 cm and height 80 mm.
Discuss and work outthis example
together.
Since units must be the same:10 mm = 1 cm80 mm = 80 mm ÷ 10 = 8 cm
A = l x bA = 3.5 cm x 8 cm
= 28 cm2

Discuss and work outthis example
together.

The Triangle Area = ½ b h e.g. Find the area of triangle ABC
correct to the nearest cm2.
Discuss and work outthis example

e.g. Find the area of the trapezium.
12 cm
8.5 cm
6 cm
Decide about the values of a, b and h
to find the area.
h = 6cm, a = 8.5 cm, b = 12 cm
A = ½h(a + b)
A = ½ x 6 cm x (8.5 cm + 12 cm)= ½ x 6 cm x 20.5 cm = 61.5 cm2

The Circle Area = r2
CentreRadiusr
Remember: the radius
of a circle is half the diameter.
e.g. The diameter of a circle is 19 cm. Find, correct to nearest whole number, the area of a circle.
Find the radius first and then work out
this example together.
r = 19 cm ÷ 2= 9.5 cm.
A = r2
= x 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm= 283.5 cm2
= 284 cm2
