Describe the following shapes
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS
The height (h) of a
triangle, a rhombus, a
parallelogram or a
trapezium, is the distance
from a top corner to the
opposite side called base
(b). The height is always
perpendicular to the
base; in other words, the
TRIANGLE height makes a "right angle"
with the base.
A = 0.5 x b x h
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

RECTANGLE

A 4-sided flat shape with straight sides

where all interior angles are right angles
(90°). Also opposite sides are parallel
and of equal length.
A=LxW
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

SQUARE

The lengths of all four sides are equal

and all four angles are right angles.

A =S2
 THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

CIRCLE

A =¶r2
(¶=3.14)
r=radius
r=d/2
d=diameter
A diameter (d) is a straight line which divides
the circle in two equal parts.
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

RHOMBUS

In a rhombus the lengths of all four sides

are equal; none of the angles are right
angles; opposite sides run parallel.
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

RHOMBUS

The height (h) of a triangle, a rhombus, a

parallelogram or a trapezium, is the distance
from a top corner to the opposite side called base
(b). The height is always perpendicular to the
base; in other words, the height makes a "right
angle" with the base.
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

RHOMBUS

A=bxh
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

PARALLELOGRAM

In a parallelogram the lengths of the opposite

sides are equal; none of the angles are right
angles; opposite sides run parallel.
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

PARALLELOGRAM

The height (h) of a triangle, a rhombus, a

parallelogram or a trapezium, is the distance
from a top corner to the opposite side called base
(b). The height is always perpendicular to the
base; in other words, the height makes a "right
angle" with the base.

PARALLELOGRAM

A=bxh
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

TRAPEZIUM
The height (h) of a triangle, a rhombus, a
parallelogram or a trapezium, is the distance
from a top corner to the opposite side called base
(b). The height is always perpendicular to the
base; in other words, the height makes a "right
angle" with the base.
THE COMMON SURFACE AREAS

TRAPEZIUM
The top (a) is the side opposite and parallel to
the base (b). In a trapezium only the base and
the top run parallel.

A = 0.5 (base + top) x height =0.5 (b + a) x h
