Area of Plane Shapes

This document provides formulas and examples for calculating the areas of different plane shapes including triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, circles, ellipses, sectors, and composite shapes made of multiple areas. The key formulas are: Triangle area = 1/2 x base x height Rectangle area = width x height Parallelogram area = base x height Circle area = π x radius2 Examples are given to demonstrate calculating areas using the appropriate formulas.

Example: What is the area of this rectangle?
The formula is+
Area = w h
w = width
h = height
,e -now w = 5 and h = 3. so+
Area = / 0 = 15
Example: What is the area of this circle?
Radius = r = 0
Area = ' r

Example: What is the area of this triangle?
5eight = h = 22
6ase = b = 27
Area = b h = 27 22 = 1$

Part 6 is a triangle1 ;iewed sidewa<s it has a base of 27m and a height of 23m1
Area of 6 = b h = 27m 23m = 237m
