Polygons Today we are going to find the Area of the Polygons Rectangles & Squares.
Area of a Rectangle • is the number of square units that are needed to cover the surface of a figure. Area height (h) base (b) • How many squares cover this rectangle? • The area of this rectangle is • 12 squares or 12 units squared.
Area of a Rectangle • Label the dimensions of this rectangle. 2 units 6 units • 2 units x 6 units = 12 units2. Area is in units2 because you are multiplying units.
Area of a Rectangle We found the area of the rectangle by multiplying the base times the height. 2 units A = bh 6 units The area of a rectangle is also known as the length times the width. A = bh is the same as A = lw
Area of a Rectangle What is the area of the rectangle? 5 6 5 ft. x 30 ft.2 6 ft. 30 ft2 or square feet
Using The Correct Units • PERIMETER:Is the distance around a figure. • in + in + in + in =in • AREA:Is the square units that cover a figure. • length • width = in • in =in2 • VOLUME:The number of cubic units inside a figure. • length • width •height • in • in • in =in3 squared width length height cubed width length
Area of a Rectangle What is the area of the rectangle? 2 5 2 in. x 10 in.2 5 in. 10 in2 or square inches
Area of a Square A square is a special rectangle. Since the base and the height are the same size, we call them sides (s) instead of base and height. A= s2 s height = s s base = s
Area of a Square What is the area of the square? 4 4 m. 4 x 16 m.2 4 m. 16m2 or square meters
Area of a Square What is the area of the square? 5 5 in. 5 x 25 in.2 5 in. 25in2 or square inches
