Area Formulas

The standard notation for area is S

Square

square

Let's a square side is long a then area formula is:

S = a.a = a2

Rectangle

rectangle

Let's a rectangle sides are long a and b

S = a.b

Parallelogram

palallelogram

Let's palallelogram sides are long a and b and ha is the altitude to the side a, and hb is the altitude to the side b
Parallelogram area formula is:

S = a.ha = b.hb

Trapezoid

trapezoid

Say the length of the parallel sides of a trapezoid are long a and b and the distance between the two bases is h(the trapezoid altitude). The area formula is:

S = ½(a + b)h

Triangle

ABC is triangle
triangle
the length of the sides is: a, b, c and the length of the altitudes is: ha, hb and hc.
S = ½(a.ha) = ½(b.hb) = ½(c.hc)
S = ½(ab.sinC) = ½(ac.sinB) = ½(bc.sinA)
p = ½(a + b + c)
S = √p(p - a)(p - b)(p - c) - Heron formula
S = R2sinA.sinB.sinC = abc/4R
