Understanding Area Calculations

Common Area Formulas

Rectangle: Area = Length × Width

Circle: Area = π × r² (r = radius)

Triangle: Area = (Base × Height) ÷ 2

Square: Area = Side²

Units of Measurement

Area is measured in square units. Common units include square meters (m²), square feet (ft²), square inches (in²), and square centimeters (cm²).

Advanced Shapes

Parallelogram: Area = Base × Height

Trapezoid: Area = ((Base₁ + Base₂) × Height) ÷ 2

Practical Applications

Area calculations are used in construction, landscaping, interior design, engineering, and many other fields where space measurement is important.

Tips for Accuracy

• Use consistent units for all measurements
• Measure carefully and double-check your inputs
• For irregular shapes, break them down into simpler shapes
