Title: Area%20of%20Rectangles


1
Area of Rectangles
2
Area - The number of square units (units2) it
takes to cover the surface of a figure. ALWAYS
label units2!!!
3
How many 1 ft2 tiles does it take to cover the
rectangle? Use the squares to find out! Look
for a faster way than covering the whole figure.
12 ft
6 ft
4
The Area (A) of a rectangle is found by using the
formula
A length(width) A lw
The Area (A) of a square is found by using the
formula
A side(side) A s2

Now solve the problem.... Dr. Dan wants to keep
his kitten from running through his flower bed by
putting up some fencing. The flower bed is 10
ft. by 6ft. How much fencing will he need?

Area of Parallelograms
10
Area of a Parallelogram Let's use the same
process as we did for the rectangle. How many 1
ft2 tiles fit across the bottom of the
parallelogram?
11
Area of a Parallelogram. Let's use the same
process as we did for the rectangle. If we build
the parallelogram with rows of 14 ft2, what
happens?
14 ft
How tall is the parallelogram? How can you tell?
12
How does this help us find the area of the
parallelogram?

14 ft
How do you find the area of a parallelogram?
13
The Area (A) of a parallelogram is found by using
the formula Note The base height
always form a right angle!
A base(height) A bh
