Area
Area is the amount of space inside a two-dimensional shape. It is the total area of all its interior parts, regardless of the shape itself.
Examples:
Rectangle: The area of a rectangle is equal to its length times its width.
For example, a rectangle with a length of 5 cm and a width of 3 cm has an area of 15 cm².
Circle: The area of a circle is equal to π (pi) times the radius squared.
For example, the area of a circle with a radius of 3 cm is π(3 cm)² = 9 cm².
Triangle: The area of a triangle is equal to half the product of its base and height.
For example, the area of a triangle with a base of 6 cm and a height of 4 cm is (1/2) * 6 cm * 4 cm = 12 cm².
Key Points:
Area is always measured in square units, such as cm², dm², or m².
The area of a shape is always positive.
The area of a blank shape is always equal to the area of a filled shape with the same dimensions.
The area of a shape can be calculated using simple formulas based on its dimensions
