Sign inArea of a Square
DESCRIPTION
The number of square units it takes to completely fill a square.
Formula: Width × Height
HOW TO
For example, if a garden is a square and the width of the garden is 20 feet and the height of a garden is 40 feet , the area of the garden is 800.
(40 x 20 = 800)
Everyday Use
Area can be used in measuring.
Lyrics
Area
One day when I grow up, One day when I grow up
Ima build a giant house, Ima drive a giant truck
Ima have a giant lake, inside a giant duck
Airplane in my backyard in case of a giant rush
When I told my mama shse said I better learn geometry
Gotta make sure I got enough space inside
If I really wanna fit my dreams
So, how wide is the land gone be?
How tall is the house you see?
Multiply those up and the answers area
What kinda floors inside? Carpet and wood is nice?
How much would I need? And don’t forget about the price
Grab my measurement tape left to right now that’s my width
Now, lay it down in front of me front to back that’s my length
Now I got both numbers I need
To start building my dream
Multiply those up and the answers area
Now I got both numbers I need
To start building my dream
Multiply those up and the answers area
Look around- round, look around- round (x2)
In your area- uh uh (x4)
Look around- round, look around- round (x2)
In your area- uh uh (x4)
How long?
How wide?
Length and the width help you decide
But it’s only one way to do it
And it only works if you got both sides
Triangles different, another formula right?
The Area’s the same but its base x height
Pick one of three sides figure out how long
Now you got your base to top of the point you can’t go wrong
Multiply that up now divide by two
Now the answers yours share with those who don’t have a clue
Now, circles are a whole other way you gotta think
So listen close to how it go you just might miss it if you blink
There’s a thing called PI and that’s 3.14
Mulitply that by the radius, square that then you in there fo sho
Every shape, every size no matter how long, no matter wide
All fits in the barrier and that’s what we call its area
And that’s what we call its area
Every shape, every size no matter how long, no matter wide
All fits in the barrier and that’s what we call its area
And that’s what we call its area
Look around- round, look around- round (x2)
In your area- uh uh (x4)
Look around- round, look around- round (x2)
In your area- uh uh (x4)
