 AREA
Area is the amount of flat space
that the figure covers measured in
square units, such as square
inches, square feet, square
centimeter and square meter

 ASSIGNMENT
• Solve for the area of combined shapes; Draw to visualize
the figures

• 1.A triangle and a semi-circle. The triangle has a base of 5 inches and
a height of 4 inches. The diameter of the circle matches the base of
the triangle.

• 2. A square and a semi-circle. The square has a side length of 15.5

feet. The diameter of the circle matches the square’s side.
