Fascinating Fact:

A solar panel tile sized 1.6 m by 1 m has area 1.6 m², so six identical panels cover 9.6 m² altogether.

In GCSE Maths (Foundation), area measures the amount of surface a shape covers. You will use formulas for rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and compound shapes, and convert between cm² and m².

Key Terms

Area: The space inside a 2D shape, measured in square units such as cm² or m².
Compound shape: A shape made from simpler shapes. Find each area, then add or subtract.
Unit conversion: Changing between units. For area, 1 m = 100 cm so 1 m² = 10,000 cm².

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you find the area of a rectangle?

Multiply length by width. For example, a 5 m by 3 m rectangle has area 5 × 3 = 15 m².

What is the area formula for a triangle?

Use 1/2 × base × height. The height must be perpendicular to the base.

How do I convert between cm² and m²?

There are 10,000 cm² in 1 m². Divide by 10,000 to change cm² to m², or multiply by 10,000 to change m² to cm².
