For example, the floor on the right is covered with 12 square tiles.
If the length of a square is 1 units,
Then, the area of a square = 1 units
= 1 unit x 1 unit
= 1 unit or 1 square unit
Therefore, the area of the floor = 12 units or 12 square units.
The area of a square of side 1 cm is 1 square centimeter and is
written as 1 cm
Other units of area are square milimetres (mm) , square metres
(m) and square kilometres (km)
Activity
a) Trace
of 1 cm
b) Mark (
) in each space that fills up one
complete units square.
c) Then mark (
) in each space that occupies half
a unit square or more.
d) Count the number of (
).
e) if the area of each space that is half a unit
square or more can be counted
f) As 1 cm , estimate the area of the leaf
Example
Example
Solution
Approximate length = 4 km
Approximate breadth = 3 km
Number of 1 km x 1 km squares (area = 1 km ) needed
to cover the island = 4 x 3
= 12
Estimated area = 12 x (1 km ) = 12km
Example
Find the area of this Geography book cover which has the shape of a rectangle
Solution
Solution
Length x breadth = 4 480 m2
80 x breadth = 4 480 m2
breadth =
=56 m
Perimeter of the land = 2 x (length + breadth)
= 2 x (80 + 56)
= 2 x 136
= 272 m

Summary
1. The distance aroud the outer boundry of a shape is called the perimeter.
2. The amount of surface that a two dimensional figure covers is its area.
Area of rectangle
= length x breadth
= axb
Area of parallelogram
= base x height

Area
of triangle
= x base x height
= xbxh
Area
of trapezium
= x (sum of parallel sides) x
height
= x (a + b) x h
