Triangular prisms
A triangular prism has a base shaped like a triangle.
Oblique prisms
In oblique prisms, the bases are in parallel planes,
We still calculate the volume in exactly the same way because of Cavalieri's
principle.
A circular cylinder is a prism-like figure that has a base shaped like a circle.
Rectangle-based pyramids
A rectangle-based pyramid has a base shaped like a rectangle.
Square-based pyramids
A rectangle-based pyramid has a base shaped like asquare.
F)Cones
A circular cone is a pyramid-like figure that has a base shaped like a circle.
G) Spheres
Where,
Suppose a and b are the set of parallel sides of a parallelogram and h is the height, then based on
the length of sides and height of it, the formula for its area is given by:
Area = Base × Height
C) Area of a Trapezoid Formula
A trapezoid is described as a 2-dimensional geometric figure which has four sides and at least
one set of opposite sides are parallel. The parallel sides are called the bases, while the other sides
are called the legs. There are different types of trapezoids: isosceles trapezoid, right trapezoid,
scalene trapezoid. A trapezoid with the two non-parallel sides of the same length is called an
isosceles trapezoid. A right trapezoid is a trapezoid that has at least two right angles. A right
isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid that is simultaneously a right trapezoid and an isosceles
trapezoid. In Euclidean geometry, such trapezoids are automatically rectangles.
D) Ellipse Formula
In geometry, an ellipse is described as a curve on a plane that surrounds two focal points such that
the sum of the distances to the two focal points is constant for every point on the curve. In the
following figure, F1 and F2 are called the foci of the ellipse.
Where,
r1 is the semi major axis of the ellipse.
r2 is the semi minor axis of the ellipse.
In the above figure, we can see a circle, where radius r from the centre ‘o’ to the boundary of the
circle. Then the area for this circle, A, is equal to the product of pi and square of the radius. It is
given by;
computation of area, there are pre-defined formulas for squares, rectangles, circle, triangles, etc.
In this article, you will learn about the area of a square.
Thus, the area of the square is 25 square cm, which can be written as 5 cm × 5 cm, that is, side × side.
From the above discussion, it can be inferred that the formula can give the area of a square is:
Area of a Square = Side × Side
Area =a²
