Area of a

Plane and Composite

Figures
 Directions: Observe the figures carefully.
Afterwards, give a comparison and contrast between
REVIEW the figures.

Plane figures Solid figures

Plane figures are flat two-
dimensional (2D) shape. A plane
figure can be made of straight
lines, curved lines, or both
straight and curved lines.
 Now that we already remember
what plane figures are, let us now
study how to get the area of each
plane figures!
 The pathway to a chapel is covered with tiles. The tiles are
ENGAGE laid out in a pattern like that of the figure below.

How many tiles are there in all?

 The pathway to a chapel is covered with tiles. The tiles are
ENGAGE laid out in a pattern like that of the figure below.

That’s what you call AREA!

 Area refers to the
number of square units
that a figure covers.
 What shape are you
seeing?

SQUARE!

Area of a square =
Area of square =
side x side
4x4=N
N = 16 Therefore, the area of the square
is 16 square units
 Now, you are seeing a
rectangle.

Area of a rectangle
=
Length x width
Area of rectangle=
4x5=N Therefore, the area of the
rectangle is 20 square units
N = 20
Difference between a diameter
and a radius!
 This is a diameter

Before proceeding with the formula of the

area of circle, get first the radius.
(Diameter ÷ 2)
 REMEMBER

 Area is the number of square units enclosed by a figure.

 The following formulas are to be used in solving for the area of different plane figures.

Area of Rectangle = l x w Area of a Parallelogram = b x h

Area of a Square = s x s or s2 Area of a Trapezoid =

Area of a Triangle = Area of a Circle = πr2
