You get the area by using formulas. There is usually a specific formula to find the area of each shape. Some irregular shaps may not have a formula.

What is an area of a polygon?

area of a polygon is the amount of area inside the polygon. A square is a polygon and its area is the side length squared, ie times itself. Some polygons are harder to find the area of.


What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a polygon and finding the area of a polygon?

Finding the perimeter of a polygon is finding how far it is in total along all the edges of the polygon; whereas finding the area of a polygon is finding how much space the polygon covers. The perimeter of a polygon forms the boundary around the area of the polygon.

How is the formula of a polygon closely related to the formula of the area of a circle?

The area of a polygon is greater than the area of the largest circle that can be inscribed within the polygon and smaller that the area of the smallest circle in which the polygon can be enclosed. So the areas of two circles establish a lower and upper bound to the area of the polygon. In a similar fashion, the perimeter of the polygon are also bounded by the circumferences of the two circles. This also works in reverse. That is, the area of a circle lies between the area of an inscribed polygon and that of a polygon containing the circle. And, again, the same applies to the circumference/perimeter. In fact these bounds were used to calculate the value of pi.
