Area of Polygons
Area of Polygons Flippable
Area of Triangles Perimeter Area of Rectangles Area of Parallelograms Perimeter and Area
Perimeter Flap Add the lengths of each side. 10cm + 10cm + 18cm + 18cm Ex: Find the perimeter. 10cm + 10cm + 18cm + 18cm 56cm 10cm 18cm
Area of Rectangles Flap Area = length x width Ex: Find the area. A = (20in)(12in) A = 240in2 12in 20in
Area of Parallelograms Flap Area = base x height Ex: Find the area. A = (30cm)(34cm) 34cm A = 1020cm2 30cm
Find the area. A = (6cm)(5cm) ÷ 2 5cm A = 15cm2 6cm
Area of Triangles Flap Continued Find the area. A = (12cm)(9cm)÷2 A = 54cm2 9cm 12cm
Closure Explain how the triangle area formula is related to the parallelogram formula. Two triangles make up a parallelogram making a triangle half of a parallelogram.
