the map is 1.3 long and 0.8 m wide find the area of a map
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
length of map = 1.3m
width of map = 0.8m
area of the map = 1.3m ×0.8m = 1.04m²
Answer:
It is important to be able to measure and calculate surface areas. It might be necessary to calculate, for example, the surface area of the cross-section of a canal or the surface area of a farm.
This Section will discuss the calculation of some of the most common surface areas: the triangle, the square, the rectangle, the rhombus, the parallelogram, the trapezium and the circle (see Fig. 1a).
Fig. 1a. The most common surface areas
The height (h) of a triangle, a rhombus, a parallelogram or a trapezium, is the distance from a top corner to the opposite side called base (b). The height is always perpendicular to the base; in other words, the height makes a "right angle" with the base. An example of a right angle is the corner of this page.
