Areas of plane figures
INTRODUCTION


These activities are designed to be viewed on a 17-inch screen and with a resolution of
1024 x 768 pixels because some windows show measurements in centimetres and millimetres that, when viewed with another configuration, won't correspond with reality; and the size of some windows can even be too big.

There are two pages for each geometrical figure. On the first page students have to do the equation of the area of this figure themselves. Therefore, the equation is not given. The next page is an exercise to find out its area.

The dimensions of these figures are generated at random, which allows us to use them an indefinitely, resulting each time in a new exercise.

OBJECTIVES

  • To know and use surface measurements adequately.

  • To know how to deduce the equation of the area of each flat figure.

  • To learn the equation of the area of each flat figure.

  • To apply adequately the equations to find out the area of a flat figure.

  • To get into the habit of writing down the measurement unit in the outcome of an exercise.
