Name 2 strategies that you can use to find the area of a shape

First, it depends what shape it is.

To find the area of the:

square/rectangle: L x W (length times width)\

Triangle: 1/2 x b x h (One half times base times height)

Parallelogram: b x h (base times height)

Circle: x r^2 (Pi times radius to the power of 2)

Trapezoid: 1/2 x (a+b) x h (One-half times Base 1 plus Base two times height

Disclaimer: These are the areas for MOST shapes, not all.

hope this helpeed :)
