1. Finding Areas of Shapes

2. Area of a Triangle Area of Triangle = 1 x Base x Vertical Height 2 Vertical Height Base Right Angle

3. Area of Parallelogram Area of Parallelogram = Base x Vertical Height Base Vertical Height ( A Rhombus is a Parallelogram With Equal Sides )

4. Area of Trapezium Area of Trapezium = Average of Parallel Sides x Distance Between Them a b h Area = ½ (a + b) x h

5. Area of Circle Area = x r2r2 Diameter (D) Circumference = x D Radius (R) = D/2

6. Area of Sector Area of Sector of Angle X = X / 360 x Area of Circle
