What is Area?
Area is the measure of the surface enclosed by a 2D shape, expressed in square units (m², cm², sq ft). Calculating area is essential in construction, real estate, gardening, painting, and everyday life.
Formula
Rectangle: A = length × width Square: A = side² Triangle: A = ½ × base × height Circle: A = π × r² Trapezoid: A = ½ × (a + b) × h Parallelogram: A = base × height
