Square
Area = a2
a = length of side
Parallelogram
Area = b h
b = base
h = vertical height
Circle
Area = r2
Circumference = 2 r
r = radius
Sector
Area = r2
r = radius
= angle in radians
Radius = r = 3
Area
= r2
= 32
= (3 3)
= 3.14159... 9
= 28.27 (to 2 decimal places)
Height = h = 12
Base = b = 20
Area = b h = 20 12 = 120
Area Of A Parallelogram
From Latin: area - "level ground, an open space,"
The number of square units it takes to completely fill a parallelogram.

Area formula
The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula
where
b1, b2 are the lengths of each base
h is the altitude (height)
Calculator
o
parallel sides of the trapezoid. The altitude (or height) of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance
between the two bases.
