Describe area in your own words in math class?

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is length times width. The result will be square units - e.g., if the length and width are in cm., the area will be in square cm.

For many other figures, there are well-known formulae to calculate the area - for example, for a triange, (1/2) times base times height - where the height is perpendicular to the base; or for a circle: pi x r2, where r is the radius (half-diameter).

For an arbitrary shape, integration is used. The basic idea is to approximate the area into many small rectangles, triangles, or other shapes for which you know a formula.

Answer 2

for example if you have a square that has 5cm sides, you do 5x5, so the area equals 25cm square if you hav a rectangle 7x5 you go 7x5 area 35cm squared

Answer 3

area is just the area inside a shape
