Area


Area is the space a shape takes up. It is described in square units. (4 cm 2)

Review:

Area of a square or rectangle:

Length times width.
A=L x W
A=6
x 2
A=12 cm 2


Area of a parallelogram


Base times height

A= B x H
A= 10 x 5
A= 50 m 2





Area of a circle

A= pi r 2



Use pieces of circle to create a shape close to a parallelogram.

Area problems

find the area of a circle with the radius of 10 m.

A= Pi r 2.
A=3.14 x 10 2
A=3.14 x 100
A=314 m 2.

Find area of following circles:


8 cm
A= pi r 2
A= 3.14 x 82
A= 3.14 x 64
A= 200.96 cm2

14.8 m
A= pi r 2
A= 3.14 x 14.82
A= 3.14 x 219.04
A= 687.79 m2


Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius. 20 cm / 2 is 10 cm.
A= pi r 2
A= 3.14 x 10
2
A= 3.14 x 100
A= 314 cm 2

6.8 m / 2 is 3.4
A= pi r 2
A= 3.14 x 3.4
2
A= 3.14 x 11.56
A= 36.30 m 2


Here is a link of a video to help you!

  1. Nice job Suzie! I liked that you gave the formulas and nice pictures. You forgot to include the link that we had to go to which Mr. Isfeld told you to add. I don't get why there are all these shapes, dots etc. evereywhere but other then that, good job. (:

  2. Nice blog:)I understood everything but I think you could've made your picture clearer when you were turning a circle into a parallelogram.
    Like what Melanie said.. you forgot the link Mr. Isfeld told us to go to and I also dont get why there are all these symbols and shapes on your blog. Anyways .. good job. Keep up the good work!

  3. Good Job Suzie!!:D I liked how you changed the colour when you explained each type of formula and the pictures helped too. You didn't include a link though. I don't understand why there are shapes near the end of the post but they could have been the words....I dunno. Againm, Good job Suzie!!:D

  4. Nice job Suzie! Your post was good and easy to understand and I liked the pictures. However, you forgot to put the link that Mr. Isfeld gave us, and I have no idea what those shapes are at the end, but that is probably a mistake. Anyway, great post Suzie:D

  6. Good job. You explained everything well. I like how every time you explain something new you would change the colour. The only thing was, is that you forgot to put the link that Mr.Isfeld told you to add. Other than that you did good.

  10. Great job Suzie! Your post was very good and easy to understand... except for the end. What in the world (including the earth, Venus, Andromeda etc.) is that? A creepy font or signs of the apocolypse? Probably just a quirky error. Also, you forgot the link. Other than that, your post was good.
