The area of a rectangle is defined to be the number of squares of area "1" that can fit within it.

In the below drawing, 6 unit squares fit within the below rectangle of height 2 and based 3.

In general, the area of a rectangle is equal to its base times its height. This can also be referred to as its length times its width.

Arectangle = length x width (lw) = base x height (bh)

Area of a Rectangle

Sometimes, the dimensions will not be given, so you will need to calculate them before calculating the area.

Since a rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles, 2 right triangles can be formed when drawing one of its diagonals. Therefore, Pythagorean Theorem can be a helpful formula.

Another helpful formula is the perimeter formula for a rectangle: P = 2l + 2w

There might also be questions asking you about the population density of a town, state, or country. It is the ratio that represents the number of people living per square mile and can be found by dividing the total population by the total area.

Slide 8 / 152

ExampleThe diagonal of a rectangle is 34 feet and its length is 14 feet more than its width. Find the length, width, and area of the rectangle.

34 ftx

x + 14We know that the width is unknown, so let's call it "x".

Therefore, the length will be "x + 14".

Using the Pythagorean Theorem & our Algebra skills, we can solve for x.

x2 + (x + 14)2 = 342

x2 + x2 + 28x + 196 = 1,1562x2 + 28x - 980 = 02(x2 + 14x - 480) = 02(x + 30)(x - 16) = 0x + 30 = 0 or x - 16 = 0x = -30 or x = 16

Since x is the length of a side, it has to be positive. Therefore, our final answer is x = 16 ft = widthlength = 30 ftArea = 480 ft2

Clearly, the area of each of the below right triangles is equal to half the area of the rectangle they comprise.

Since the area of the rectangle is bh, the area of each right triangle is 1/2 bh.

Examining our solution, we can see that the area of the triangle is given by half the product of two sides multiplied by the sine of the angle between them.

In this case, the sides were of length 4 and 8 and the angle is 40°.

Replacing the numbers by labeling the angles with upper case letters and the sides opposite them with matching lower case letters yields this formula.

But, there's nothing special about those sides and that angle, so it will also be true that:

AΔ = 1/2 ab sinC

Or

AΔ = 1/2 bc sinA

The area of a triangle is equal to the product of any two sides and the sineof the included angle.

Law of Sines


Slide 33 / 152

We just learned that we can find the area of any triangle with any of these three formulas:

AΔ = 1/2 ac sinBAΔ = 1/2 ab sinCAΔ = 1/2 bc sinA

Since the area of a triangle will be the same regardless of which formula we use, these three formulas must be equal.

Setting them equal to one another will give usa general relationship between the sides and the angles of a triangle.

Circumscribing a Regular Polygon

A polygon is circumscribed by drawing around it the smallest circle on which lie all the vertices of the polygon.

That circle is called the circumcircle of the polygon.

The radius of a regularpolygon is the radius of thecircumscribed circle, shown here as "r."

The Apothem a Regular Polygon The apothem of a Regular Polygon is the shortest distance from the center of the polygon to one of its sides.

An apothem is perpendicular to a side of the polygon.

An apothem is also the altitude (height) of the isosceles triangle formed by the sides of a central angle and the side of the polygon that is opposite the central angle.

Interestingly, the formula, A = 1/2Pa, also leads to the formula for the area of a circle.

If you let n go to infinity, the regular polygon approaches the shape of a circle.

The apothem, a, approaches the radius of the circle, r.

And, the perimeter of the polygon approaches the circumference of the circle: 2πr.

Then, A = 1/2Pa approaches

The Area of a Sector

A sector is part of a circle.

The area of a complete circle is given by Acircle = πr2

A

BC

D

If the central angle of the sector is given in degrees, that's just the measure of that angle divided by 360 degrees, yielding:Asector = (θ/360°)(πr2)when θ is the central angle of the sector measured in degrees

Similar to the arc length, we have to find the fraction of the circle in the sector and multiply this fraction by the area of the entire circle to find the area of a sector

Using our formula, we know that θ = 110°, and r = 20 cm.

110°20 cm

If we substitute these numbers into our formula, it will give us the area of our sector.Asector = (110°/360°)π(20)2

Asector = 383.97 cm2

In this case, we know that the measure of our central angle, or m∠C = 110°.

But, if we are also told that the radius of the circle is 20 cm, we can determine the area of the sector enclosed by AB, AC & CB.

Area of a TrapezoidLet's start off by deriving the area formula of a trapezoid.

If you will recall from our unit on Quadrilaterals, a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with 1 pair of opposite sides that are parallel, called bases and 1 pair of opposite sides that are not parallel, called legs.

If we label our bases as b1 and b2 and draw an altitude, or the height (h), we have the figure given to the right.

We can split the trapezoid into 2 triangles by drawing the diagonal from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. Click on the bases to reveal each new triangle (given in red).

Now, we can separate these two triangles.

Using the triangles, how could you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

Area of a RhombusNext, we are going to derive the area formula of a rhombus.

If you will recall from our unit on Quadrilaterals, a rhombus is a parallelogram with congruent sides and diagonals that are perpendicular and bisect each other.

Since it is a parallelogram, the formula A = bh will work for this shape. But what if we are given the diagonal lengths instead? What connections do you see? Can we figure out a formula for this case?

If we label our diagonals as d1 and d2, we have the figure given to the right.

d2

Slide 109 / 152

Area of a RhombusThe diagonals split the rhombus into 4 congruent triangles. If we move two the bottom triangles to the top, but on opposite sides (i.e. move the bottom right triangle to the upper left corner), we will create another shape and determine the area formula.

d2

Use the following steps to show the animation in the diagram:· Click on the hash marks in the 2 bottom triangles to reveal each new

triangle (given in red). · Move the new red triangles to the opposite corners of the shape. · Click the bottom of the original rhombus (shown in black) to hide it.

Area of Complex FiguresIn most real-world problems, you will need to calculate the area of complex figures, or shapes that are a combination of 2 or more shapes.

In order to calculate the area of these types of shapes, we need to either add or subtract the areas of the primary shapes involved.

Add the area of a rectangle& 1/2 the area of a circle.

Subtract the area of the rectangles from the area of the trapezoid.

Some problems will show your shapes in a coordinate plane. In these cases, you will need to calculate the side lengths, or diagonal lengths, of your shapes using the distance formula.

Remember that the distance formula is


d =

After calculating the desired distances, you will either need to add them to calculate the perimeter or multiply them to calculate the area, using the appropriate formula.
