Area of Plane Geometrical Figures
Area of Plane Figures
The area of a plane figure is the measurement of the surface enclosed by its boundry. In this chapter we will study about different plane figures with its area.
Area of Triangle
Area of \[\Delta \text{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BC}\times \text{AD}\] square unit
Area of right triangle \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{(perpendicular)}\times \text{Base}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times AB\times \text{BC}\]
Area of Triangle by Heron's Formula
Let a, b, c be the length of sides of a triangle
then area \[=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\]sq. unit where \[s=-\frac{1}{2}(a+b+c)\]
Area of Equilateral Triangle
Area \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{{(side)}^{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{{a}^{2}}\] Area of isosceles triangle
\[=\frac{1}{2}\times
