How do you find the area of a number?

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

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the base by the height.

You can find the area of a triangle by multiplying the base and height, then dividing by two.

You can find the area of a cylinder or prism by multiplying the area of the base by the height.

You can find the area of a circle by multiplying the radius squared by pi.

You can find the area of a pyramaid or cone by multiplying the area of the base by the height, then dividing by three.

You can find the area of a sphere by this formula (4/3 pi times radius cubed)

you can find the area of a cube by cubing a side.

Answer 3

There can be no conversion. An area is a measure in 2-dimensional space while a side of a shape is a measure in 1-dimensional space. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.

Answer 4

It depends on which shape.

For a circle: 3.14r2

For a square or rectangle: length x width

Answer 5

You can find the area of a diamond shape similarly to the way you find the area of a square except using the diagonals. All you have to do is multiply the diagonals to find the area.

Answer 6

The area of a circle is Pi(3.1416)*radius2 if you do not have the radius, it is just half of the diameter.

Answer 7

you can't?

a number isn't a shape. you can find the area of a closed shape, or the surface area of a 3D shape, but not just a number.

Answer 8

With the available information you cannot. You do not even know what the shape is: if it is an irregular "blob" it could have an area but no side.
