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 102
A= 3.14 x 100
A= 314 cm 2
6.8 m / 2 is 3.4
A= pi r 2
A= 3.14 x 3.42
A= 3.14 x 11.56
A= 36.30 m 2
