    Area of Triangles and

    compound shapes
    Grade 7 Measurement
    Lesson
    Objectives
    1. To understand how to find
    the area of different
    triangles.
    2. To find the areas of
    compound shapes by
    problem solving and
    showing reasoning.
    Whiteboard Starter – What is the
    area of the following two shapes

    If you are willing to apply a


    Growth Mindset you will
    have the tools/skills
    available to solve this
    question by the end of the
    lesson.
    The area

    of a Triangle
    4
    A triangle is half of a rectangle.
    We can shear the rectangle into a
    parallelogram.

    We have sheared the triangle too!

    5
    Let’s shear some more triangles.

    6
    The
    Now triangles
    let’s are different shapes,
    shear these.
    but they all have the same area.

    They all have


    the same area

    as this one. 7
    Area = base × height

    base

    They are all half the base times the height

    Area of a Triangle

    The area of a triangle = ½ the area of the surrounding


    rectangle/parallelogram

    height

    base

    Area of a triangle = ½ base x height


    Area of a Triangle

    The area of a triangle = ½ the area of the surrounding


    rectangle/parallelogram

    height

    base
    rectangle area = 2 + 2
    triangle area = ½ rectangle area

    Area of a triangle = ½ base x height


    Find the area of the following triangles.

    Area = ½ b x h

    12 cm
    9 cm 16 cm

    8 cm 10 cm 14 cm

    Area = ½ x 8 x 9 Area = ½ x 10 x 12 Area = ½ x 14 x 16


    = 36 cm2 = 60 cm2 = 112 cm2

    Area = ½ x 3.2 x 4.5 m


    4.5 m 5m
    = 7.2 m2 m
    7 m Area = ½ x 7 x 5

    3.2 m = 17.5 mm2

    Compound shapes
    • Are shapes made of more than one shape
    • To calculate area
    • Break it up into separate shapes
    • Calculate each area
    • Add them together

    Example
    Total Area= Area A + Area B
    Area A= 10 x 2
    Area A= 20m²
    Area B= 4 x 7
    Area B= 28m²
    Total Area= 20m² + 28m²
    Total Area= 48m²
    How can we find the area of this shape?

    Area A = 5 × 7 = 35 m2

    15 m 5m Area B = 5 × 15 = 75 m2

    Total area = 35 + 75 = 110 m2


    6 cm 6 cm

    8 cm2 2 cm 12 cm2 2 cm

    4 cm 4 cm

    12 cm 8 cm 12 cm 8 cm
    16 cm2
    24 cm2

    4 cm 2 cm 4 cm

    8 cm2 2 cm 12 cm2 2 cm

    2 cm
    Area = 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 cm2 Area = 16 + 12 + 12 = 40 cm2
    Find the area of this shape
