Area of Rectangles and Parallelograms

The area of a figure is a measure of the size of the region enclosed by the figure

Area of a rectangle = l x w   where l is length and w is width

Area of a square with side s = s x s

Area of a rectangle is the number of unit squares enclosed within the rectangle when it is placed on a grid of unit squares

Area is measured in square units. For example: square inches (inches²), square feet (ft²), etc

The area of a figure is a measure of the size of region enclosed by the figure

When two similar figures are joined, the area of new figure is increased to 2 times the original area

When the dimensions of the figure are doubled, the area increases to 4 times and perimeter increases to 2 times the original

When the dimensions of the figure are halved, the area reduces by 4 times and perimeter reduces by 2 times the original

Area is measured in square units. For example: square inches (inches²), square feet (ft²), etc

The area of a figure is a measure of the size of region enclosed by the figure

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel

Any parallelogram can be represented as a rectangle, which will have the same base length and height as the parallelogram

Area of a parallelogram (A) = b x h, where b is the base length and h is the height

Area is measured in square units. For example: square inches (inches²), square feet (ft²), etc

The area of a figure is a measure of the size of the region enclosed by the figure

Use equations and substitution of known values to calculate missing measurements

Area of a rectangle = l x w; where l is the length and w is the width

Area of a square with side s = s x s

Area is measured in square units. For example: square inches (inches²), square feet (ft²), etc
