6 0

Hello!

We use different formulas to calculate the areas of different shape.

RECTANGLE:

To find the area of a rectangle, we must simply multiply its length by its width. The formula for its area is:

A = l × w

SEMICIRCLE:

Since the formula for a circle is pi × r × r, we must use the same formula but divide it in half, because a semicircle is a half circle, which is why its area would also be half of a circle's. The formula for a semicircle's area is:

A = 1/2 pi × r × r

Tip:

Write these formulas down and memorize them so that you don't forget them. You'll have to use these formulas quite often when finding the area of these shapes.
