Children: Good morning Sir!
Good morning children.
Children: We’re fine thank you!
How are you today?

Johnson? Children: None Sir!

Very good!
Do you have any other
questions regarding our lesson
yesterday?

Okay! We will now proceed

with our next lesson.

2. Motivation
I have here some pictures. Aya: I see a house Sir.
Can someone tell me what you
see in the picture?

Correct! How about this one? Paul: that is a floorplan Sir

Can you please tell me what
this is?
Paul?

Very good!
As you can see this house on
the picture is situated inside the
lot and it covers a portion of it.

Very good!

C. Discussion

Today we will be discussing about

the Area of Plane Figures.

First, we will define what area is.

Everybody please read! Children: Area is a count of how many

unit squares fit inside a figure. A unit
square is a square that is one unit long
and one unit wide.

Area is a count of how many unit

sqaures fit inside a figure. A unit
square is a square that is one unit
long and one unit wide.

The formula for finding the area

of a square is:

A = s2
Where A = Area
S = side

Aside from square, we also have a

rectangle.

Everybody please read! Children: A Rectangle is an equiangular

quadrilateral which means that all
internal angles are right angles and
opposite sides are equal and parallel.

A Rectangle is an equiangular
quadrilateral which means that all
internal angles are right angles
and opposite sides are equal and
parallel.

Let us look the rectangle in this

figure that is 4mm by 6mm. If we
count the number of 1mm by
1mm squares that are inside the
rectangle, we can easily see that
there are 24 of these squares.
Performing the same task with a
rectangle that has different
dimensions, we can see a pattern.
 Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

The total number of squares that

rest within a rectangle can be
found by multiplying the length
of a rectangle by its width. So,
4mm x 6mm = 24 mm2, hence
the formula A = lw.

Example 1: If l = 20 ft and w = 5 ft,

then the area would be...
A = lw
A = (20 ft)(5 ft)
A = 100 ft2

Example 2: If l = 11 yds and w = 7

yds, then the area would be...
A = lw
A = (11 yds)(7 yds)
A = 77 yds2

Now I will let you solve this

problemon your sits. After two
minutes, I will reveal the solution.
Write your own solution on our
notebook.

Is it clear? Children: Yes Sir!

Problem: If the length of a

rectangle is 20cm and its width is
10cm, what would be its area?

Time’s up!

Solution: A = lw
l = 20cm , w = 10cm

A = lw
A = (20cm)(10cm)
A= 200cm2

Did everyone get the right Children: Yes Sir!

answer?

Very good!

Lets proceed to the area of a

Parallelogram.

Everybody please read! Children: A parallelogram is a

quadrilateral (four-sided figure) that
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral has opposite sides that are parallel.
(four-sided figure) that has
opposite sides that are parallel.
 Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

Similar to the rectangle, finding

the area of a parallelogram
requires two known distances. We
need to know its height and the
length of the side that is
perpendicular to the height, called
the base of the parallelogram.

If we start with a typical

parallelogram, we can make a few
alterations to it in order to
calculate its area.

Transformation, Parallelogram to
Rectangle

Since we already know the area of

a rectangle (see above) to be A =
lw, let us apply it to the newly
altered parallelogram. The base of
the original parallogram is now
the length of the rectangle. The
height of the parallelogram is now
the width of the rectangle. Using
the names base and height instead
of length and width, we see that
the area of a parallogram is A =
bh.

Example 1: If b = 7 in and h = 4
in, then the area would be...
A = bh
A = (7 in)(4 in)
A = 28 in2
Example 2: If b = 12 m and h = 8
m, then the area would be...
A = bh
A = (12 m)(8 m)
A = 96 m2
 Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

Now let us proceed with the area

of a triangle.

Everybody please read!

A triangle can be defined by the

length of its base and its height.
The height is always
perpendicular to the base, exactly
like the base and height of a
parallelogram. We can find the
area of a triangle by performing
three tasks.

We know the area of a

parallelogram to be A = bh. In our
newly formed diagram, we can
use those same distances to arrive
at the exact same area for the two-
triangle area. However, if we
want to know the area of one of
those triangles instead of the
whole parallelogram, we have to
divide the area into two equal
portions since the triangles are
congruent to each other.
Therefore, the area of a triangle is
A = ½bh.

Example 1: If b = 6 cm and h = 3
cm, then the area would be...
A = ½bh
A = ½(6 cm)(3 cm)
A = 9 cm2
Example 2: If b = 14 mi and h = 5
mi, then the area would be...
A = ½bh
A = ½(14 mi)(5 mi)
A = 35 mi2
 Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

I will now let you solve for the

area of a triangle in your sits. The
answer would be given after two
minutes so be sure to finish
answering before the time is up.

Am I clear?

Problem: If the Base of a triangle

is 28m and its height is 19m, what
is its area?

Time’s up!

Solution:
b = 28m , h = 19m
A = ½ bh
A = ½ (28m)(19m)
A = 266m2

Did everyone get the right Children: Yes Sir!

answer?

Very good!
