count the squares inside, but if you are looking for the real formulas: parallelogram= base times height , triangle =1/2 base times height trapezoid = 1/2 height times (base 1+ base 2) rectangle = length times width, square= length times width. hope this helped!

∙ 13y agoTo find the area of the remaining figure, subtract the area of the removed portion from the total area of the original figure.
So that you can plot out the points of a straight line on graph paper.
For easy figures, you can cut up paper squares and see how many squares it takes to cover the figure. However, this takes work and if the figure is complicated, it's hard to figure out. So there's other tricks you learn to find the area of a figure, depending on what the figure looks like.

It is easier to understand if you draw on graph paper. Each little square represents one unit of area. So if you have a square with 4 little squares in it, then the length is 2 and the width is 2. Multiplied together it makes 4. A similar idea happens when you don't have a shape on graph paper. Instead, you use the info you are told, even if you are given a picture that doesn't look that size.

You need to find the area of each two dimensional surface on the figure. Do you have a specific figure in mind?
To determine the volume from a graph, you would need to calculate the area enclosed by the graph and the axes. If the graph represents a shape with known cross-sectional area, you can integrate the shape's area over the interval represented by the graph to find the volume.
