A. 6cm B. 7cm C. 8cm D. 9cm

Looking Back!
In your previous lesson, you have learned how to find the area of a
triangle, parallelograms and trapezoid using sq.cm and sq. m. We know that area
is the number of square units a plane figure contains. The unit is always
expressed in square units.
The following are the formulas for finding the area of different plane
figures.

Triangle: A= ½ ( b x h ) Parallelogram: A = b x h

Trapezoid: A= ½ ( b1 + b2) h Rectangle: A= l x w

Square: A = s x s or A= s2

Directions: Solve for the area of the following figures.

 Introduction of the Topic

There are two basic types of solving word problems. You can categorize them
as routine and non-routine problems. The purpose and strategies used for
solving problems is different from each type.

A. Routine Problem Solving

A Routine Problem involves using at least one of the four arithmetic
operations and/or ratios to solve problems that are practical in nature.
Example 1:

Mr. Cruz donated a rectangular lot to their Barangay Health Center. It is 10

meters long and 8 meters wide. What is the area of the lot?

a. Know what is asked for in the problem.

1. Understand ● The area of the rectangular lot donated by
Mr. Cruz.
b. Find the given. Create a visual representation
of the word problem through illustration.
● 10 meters long
● 8 meters wide 10 m

8m

Since you are looking for the area of the rectangular

2. Plan lot, use the formula in finding the area of a
rectangle. Formula in finding the area of a rectangle:
A= l x w
a. Determine the operation to be used.
● Multiplication
b. What is the number sentence?
● A= l x w
● A= 10 m x 8 m
Apply the formula to solve. 10
3. Solve ● A= lxw x 8
● A = 10 m x 8 m
80
● A = 80 ㎡
The area of the rectangular lot donated by Mr. Cruz
4. Complete
is 80 ㎡.
Answer

Example 2:

Mr. Reyes wants to buy a vacant lot nearby. It is a square lot

which is 12 meters on one side. What is the area of the lot?

 a. Know what is asked for in the problem.
1. Understand ● The area of the square vacant lot.
b. Find the givens. Create a visual representation of
the word problem through illustration.
● 12 meters 12 m

12 m 12 m
It is a square lot. All its sides have the
same measurements which is 12 m.
12 m

Since you are looking for the area of the square lot,
2. Plan use the formula in finding the area of a square.
Formula in finding the area of a square: A = s x s or
A= s2
Determine the operation to be used.
● Multiplication
a. What is the number sentence?
● A= s x s A= 12 m x 12 m
Apply the formula to solve.
3. Solve ● A= sxs
12
x 12
● A = 12 m x 12 m 144
● A = 144 ㎡

4. Complete
The area of the vacant lot is 144 ㎡.
Answer

B. Non-routine Problem Solving

A Non-routine problem solving is mostly concerned with developing
a person’s mathematical reasoning power and fostering the understanding
that mathematics is a creative endeavor. It typically does not have an
immediate apparent strategy for solving them. Often, these problems can
be solved in multiple ways.

What is the area of a square cardboard which has 15 cm on all

sides? What will happen to the area if you double the side?

Steps:
1. Analyze.
2. Know the facts:
What are you asked to find?
Answer: What happened to the area of the square cardboard if you doubled
the side?
What facts do you need?
Answer:
Area of the square cardboard whose side is 15cm
Area of the square cardboard whose side is being doubled

MATH 4 QUARTER 4 WEEK 2 Page 4 | 10

 3. Plan the solution.
Illustrate the problem.
Square whose side is 15cm Square whose side is being
doubled

1. Get the area of the smaller square.

2. Get the area of the bigger square.
3. Compare their area.
4. Solve:
Area of the Square = 𝑠 𝑥 𝑠 𝑜𝑟 𝑠 2
Area of the Square whose side is Area of the Square whose side
15cm is being doubled
A= sxs A= sxs
A = 15 cm x 15 cm A = 30 cm x 30 cm
A = 225 𝑐𝑚 2
A = 900 𝑐𝑚2

From 30cm by 30cm square, you can make four squares with side
15cm by 15cm.

The original square has an area of 225 𝑐𝑚2 . The square whose side is
being doubled has an area of 900 𝑐𝑚2 . As you can see, the larger
square is four times the smaller square. Thus, its area is also four times
the smaller square.

 5. State your complete answer:
Answer: The area is four times the original square if the side is being
doubled. It becomes 900 sq.cm.

The steps in solving routine problems are:

Understand - Know what is asked, what are given.
Plan- Know the operation. Write the number sentence.
Solve- Write the correct units/ label your answer.
Check and look back- Check your answer and state
your complete answer.
To solve non-routine problems:
Read and analyze the problem carefully.
Tell what is asked and what are given.
Use other strategies like act out the problem, listing/table
method, guess, and test, drawing/ making a diagram, using
patterns, working backwards, etc. to solve.
