Example: What Is The Area of This Rectangle?
Area = w × h
w = width
h = height
Area = 5 × 3 = 15
Radius = r = 3
Area = π × r2
= π × 32
= π × (3 × 3)
= 3.14159... × 9
= 28.27 (to 2 decimal places)
Example: What is the area of this triangle?
Height = h = 12
Base = b = 20
Area = ½ × b × h = ½ × 20 × 12 = 120
A harder example:
Part A is a square:
Part B is a triangle. Viewed sideways it has a base of 20m and a height of 14m.
