Area is the measure of space inside a region.
Objects of different shapes can have the same area.
The following figures
all have an area of 5 square units although their shapes are different.
Characteristics:
• the area of a region remains the same when the region is rearranged.
• area can be measured in non-standard or standard units for area.
• the smaller the unit of measure the greater the number of units needed to measure a given area.
• when comparing area, the same unis must be used.
• standard units for area include cm2 and m2.
• for a given area there are usually many different rectangles that can be drawn.
The following is a sample Frayer Model for Area.
Area of a variety of shapes
The number of units needed to cover a shape is the area of a shape. The units must be the same size. The units must be congruent. You can find the area of a shape by counting how many units cover it.
