How do you find the area of the shape?

Answer 1

To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.

Answer 2

if you are talking about a 2d shape, aka a shape that is flat, like paper, then you need to find the base, and height. for a square or rectangle, you measure the horizontal side, and the vertical side, and multiply them, and your product is is [whatever unit you are using] squared. for any other shape, you have to break it up into other shapes that you can figure out. for triangles its base x height divided by 2. 3d shapes is surface area, which is a combined total of all areas of visible faces.

Answer 3

for square and rectangle it's length times width

for a circle it's 3.14 times radius squared

for triangle it'slenth height into base divided by 2
