Area of Plane Figure

The figures which can be drawn in one plane are called plane figures. For
example, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles etc. are plane figures.

Polygon

A close plane figure formed by n line segments is called an n-sided polygon.

Thus, a closed figure of three sides is a triangle, a closed figure of four sides
is a quadrilateral and a closed figure of five sides is called a pentagon.

A polygon is called a regular polygon if all its sides and angles are equal.

Triangle

A Closed figure obtained by joining three non-collinear point is called a

triangle.

In fig. ABCD a, b, c are sides, h altitude.

s= (a+b+c)/2
Area of triangle= ½(ch)
Right Triangle
A triangle, one of whose angle is a right angle i.e. of 90o is called a Right
Angled Triangle or Simply a Right Triangle.

In fig ABC d=√b²+h²

Area of Right Triangle =½(bh)

Isosceles Right Triangle

A triangle, one of whose angle is a right angle i.e. of 90o,with two equal
sides and two other equal angles always of 45°

In Fig. ABC d=a√2

Area of Isosceles Right Triangle= ½a²
Equilateral Triangle
A triangle having all three sides of equal length. The angles of an equilateral
triangle all measure 60 degrees.

In Fig. ABC h= √3/2a

Area of Equilateral Triangle= 1/2ah, √3/4a²

Rectangle
A four-sided polygon having all right angles. The sum of the angles of a
rectangle is 360 degrees

In Fig. ABCD a=length, b=breadth.

Area of Rectangle= a*b
Square

A four-sided polygon having equal-length sides meeting at right angles. The

sum of the angles of a square is 360 degrees.

In Fig. ABCD a= side

Area of Square= a²

Parallelogram

A four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides. The sum of the angles
of a parallelogram is 360 degrees.

In Fig. ABCD a= side, b=side, h=distance between parallel sides of

length a.
Area of Parallelogram= a*h
Rhombus

A four-sided polygon having all four sides of equal length. The sum of the
angles of a rhombus is 360 degrees.

In Fig. ABCD a=side, d1d2 -are the diagonals.

Area of Rhombus= ½ (d1*d2)

Trapezium

A four-sided polygon having exactly one pair of parallel sides. The two sides
that are parallel are called the bases of the trapezium. The sum of the angles
of a trapezium is 360 degrees.

In Fig. ABCD a, b= parallel sides, h=distance between them.

Area of Trapezium= ½(a+b) h

Circle

A circle is the collection of points in a plane that are all the same distance
from a fixed point. The fixed point is called the center. A line segment joining
the center to any point on the circle is called a radius.

In this fig. r-radius

Area of circle= π r2
