Steemkids Mathematics Lesson Week 2||Area of Plane Shapes

Introduction

Hello dear friends.Trust you are fine.Here comes another day to present another lesson to you.Welcome to the second lesson of the year.The lesson runs biweekly in this Steemkids Community.I am glad to start the week two of the lesson series today.

This week we shall look at the topic Area of Plane Shapes.It is a very simple and interesting topic.

Area of Plane Shapes

Plane Shapes are shapes that can be drawn on a flat surface.Examples are square, rectangle,circle etc.

In our last class we looked at Perimeter of plane shapes and today we are moving to Area of and shapes.

The Area of a plane shape is the space occupied or covered by the shape.It can also be seen as the quantity of space a plane can occupy.The unit of area is usually the unit squared.For this week's class we shall look at area of a circle,square, rectangle and triangle.

Area of a Rectangle,Square, Triangle and Circle

• Area of a Rectangle=L x W
  where L=length,W=width

• Area of a Square=L^2
  where L=length

• Area of a Circle=πr^2
  Where π=22/7,r=radius

• Area of Triangle=1/2 bh

As you can see.The Area of each shape has its own formular.I have presented the solution of a problem on how to solve the Area of a circle in the video below.

This video is a proper guide on how to find Area if plane shapes.👇
