Area is the amount of space occupied by an object in a plane. Learn about areas of different simple and complex shapes, formulas along with examples, only at BYJU’S.
We have already read that from the definition of similar shapes if two shapes are similar then theircorresponding anglesare congruent and the lengths of corresponding sides are in proportion. For calculating anunknown areain similar shapes, first, we need to calculate the Area Scale Factor for the...

Calculating the area of special shapes: Parallelogram: base × height It is a formula that you use to calculate the area of a parallelogram, similar to a square or rectangle formula. Trapezoids: ½ ( side + width ) height Rhombus: ½ × d1 × d2 These are the formulas for you to...
How to Find Area of a Parallelogram A parallelogram is similar to a rectangle in that it is a polygon with four straight sides and the adjacent sides are different lengths. However, the opposing sides are equal. Unlike a rectangle, the interior angles are not right angles, and the opposing...
A composite shape is a combination of different shapes like a circle or polygons. A portion of it can come from a single polygon joined by a portion of a circle or simply two polygons sharing sides. Its perimeter is the sum of the outer borders and its area is the sum of the each ...
