By the end of this topic can you confidently
find the area of common shapes (square, triangle, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium, and kite).
recall the formulas for finding the areas of common shapes (square, triangle, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium, and kite).
Area begins with the area of a rectangle/square. the Length x Width formula. Most other formulas for the areas of different shapes comes from the formular of squares/rectangles. Use the slides in the examples below to see how the formular for the area of squares/rectangles informs the formulas of other shapes.
