Area: Area is the region enclosed in a figure. Different shapes have different formula to find the area. Area is refer to 2-dimensional shapes. So while finding the area just multiply the two sides of the given shape. Area of a square = length x length Area of a rectangle = length x breadth Area of a parallelogram = base x height Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height Point to remember: Height is perpendicular to its base Example 1: If we have a square of side 5 cm. What will be the area of a square? Solution: As we know that a square has 4 equal sides and if one side is of 5 cm then all the 4 sides will be of 5 cm. Area = length x length = 5 cm x 5 cm = 25 cm sq. Example 2: If we have a rectangle of length 6 cm and breadth 4 cm. What will be the area of a rectangle? Solution: As we know that a rectangle has 4 sides. Two opposite equal and parallel sides. Area = length x breadth = 6 cm x 4 cm = 24 cm sq.
