Do Now What are the following formulas? Area of a Square: Area of a Rectangle: Area of a Parallelogram: Area of a Triangle: Area of a Trapezoid: Area of a Circle:
Area of Parallelograms Learning Objectives: Find the area of parallelograms. Apply formulas to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
Area of Parallelograms The Area of a figure is the number of square units it encloses. On your graph paper, draw a rectangle 8 units long and 6 units high. How many square units are enclosed by your rectangle? How did you determine you answer? - count the square inside the rectangle? The formula to find the area of a rectangle is base x height or A = bh.
Area of Parallelograms 1.Find the area of the index card provided. 2.Draw a diagonal line from one vertex on the card to the opposite vertex. Cut your card along that line. 3.Use the two pieces to form a parallelogram that in not a rectangle. What is the area of your parallelogram? What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram that is not a rectangle?
Area of Parallelograms Find the area of each figure. 1 m 10 cm 2 yd 2 ft 8 ft 7 ft 8 cm 6 cm 2 cm
Area of Circles Formula for the Circumference of a Circle: 2πr or πd Formula for the Area of a Circle: πr² Find the area of each figure: Radius = 2cm Diameter= 2cm
Area of Composed Figures Find the area of the below figure: 2 in 6 in 4 in
