Wed. Sept. 1

Problem 1:
Define area in your own words.
I think area is  everything inside a shape.

Problem 2:

1.     What is the area of this irregular figure? (Assume each square is 1 cm x 1 cm)
Don’t forget the label. about 24 cm^2
2.     List your thought processes. (This should include 3-5 sentences.)
I think this because I added all whole squares up. Then I took the partial ones and added them together. I added both those together and got it.



Problem 3:

What is the area of the figure? 8 acres^2
What label do you think you’d use if this were a small pond? A small lake?
acres
Task 4:
Explain why it would be important to know how to find the area of a figure (regular or irregular). This should be 3-5 sentences
In the future this will be a very useful skill. Maybe you need to find the area of a room to see if a couch will fit or something like that. Being able to find area would be a very useful skill for that.
