Math Examples for Each Shape

Square

Formula: A = s²

Example: If side (s) = 5 units

Area = 5² = 25 square units

Rectangle

Formula: A = l × w

Example: If length (l) = 6 units, width (w) = 4 units

Area = 6 × 4 = 24 square units

Triangle

Formula: A = ½ × b × h

Example: If base (b) = 8 units, height (h) = 6 units

Area = ½ × 8 × 6 = 24 square units

Circle

Formula: A = πr²

Example: If radius (r) = 3 units

Area = π × 3² ≈ 28.27 square units

Trapezoid

Formula: A = ½(a + b) × h

Example: If base1 (a) = 5 units, base2 (b) = 7 units, height (h) = 4 units

Area = ½(5 + 7) × 4 = 24 square units

Parallelogram

Formula: A = b × h

Example: If base (b) = 5 units, height (h) = 3 units

Area = 5 × 3 = 15 square units

Ellipse

Formula: A = πab

Example: If semi-major axis (a) = 5 units, semi-minor axis (b) = 3 units

Area = π × 5 × 3 ≈ 47.12 square units

Compound Shape Example

Let's calculate the area of a compound shape consisting of a rectangle and a triangle:

  • Rectangle: length = 10 units, width = 5 units
  • Triangle: base = 6 units, height = 4 units

Step 1: Calculate rectangle area = 10 × 5 = 50 square units

Step 2: Calculate triangle area = ½ × 6 × 4 = 12 square units

Step 3: Add the areas: 50 + 12 = 62 square units

Total area of the compound shape: 62 square units
