Given composite figures (combinations of rectangles, squares, parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, semicircles, and quarter circles), students will be able to determine expressions for the area as well as calculate the area of the figure.

This tutorial provides a brief introduction about what area is, then gives the formulas for area of a square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, triangle, and circle. Examples of each formula are provided.

This fifth-grade lesson explores the area of a rectangle with fractional side lengths. We tile the rectangle with unit rectangles and show that the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths. We multiply...

Breaking figures into smaller squares and rectangles allows me to multiply to find the area

Calculate certain variables of a parallelogram depending on the inputs provided. Calculations include side lengths, corner angles, diagonals, height, perimeter, and area of parallelograms.
