Today in class we learned about the area of two dimensional shapes
Area: the number of square units of space within the boundary of a region
Here's a few formula's for area:
rectangle: A=bh
parallelogram: A=bh
area of a rectangle=area of a parallelogram
triangle: A=(1/2)bh
circle:
We also learned a little about these postulates:
-If two closed figures are congruent, then their areas are equal
-If two closed regions intersect along a common boundary, then the area of their union is equal to the sum of their individual areas
the area of the whole shape=the area of the square + the area of the triangle
And thats basically it!
