Chapter 10Area Section 10.1 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles
Warm up (write on a slip of paper, but don’t turn in) • Can you answer these? • Tell what each letter represents in the formula A = s2. • Tell what each letter represents in the formula A = bh. • Find the area and perimeter of a square with sides 5 cm long. • The perimeter of a square is 28 cm. What is the area? • The area of a square is 64 cm2. What is the perimeter? • Describe or draw: perimeter, diagonal
Theorem 10-1 Area of a RectangleTheorem 10-2 Area of a Parallelogram A base of a parallelogram is any of its sides. The corresponding altitude is a segment perpendicular to the line containing that base, drawn from the side opposite the base. The height is the length of an altitude.
Theorem 10-3 Area of a Triangle A base of a triangle is any of its sides. The corresponding height is the length of the altitude to the line containing that base.
Area Addition Postulate • The area of a region is the sum of the areas of its non-overlapping parts.
Example 1 Consecutive sides of the figure are perpendicular. Find the area of the total figure. Additional Question: If this was carpet, how much Would you pay if $4.00 sq. ft?
Example 2 Find the area of a square with diagonals length 8.
Example 3 Find the area of the triangles.
Example 4 • Find the area of the rhombus.
