Look at the picture below. Which of these
is a square? A rectangle? Why? Explain.
 What do you call this shape?

How many square tiles can fit

into a notebook?
 In this lesson, we will learn
how to determine and
estimate the size of an area
using square tiles. Area refers
to how much space an object
covers, such as a table, a
sheet of paper, or a floor.
 We will use square tiles to see
how many pieces can fit inside a
square or rectangular shape. This
way, we can better understand
what area is and how it is
measured. Knowing how to measure
area is important because it is used
in many everyday tasks.

each side measures 5?

 Area refers to the measurement of
the space occupied by an object. In
the subject of Mathematics,
understanding how to find the area of
simple shapes such as squares and
rectangles is important because it
has practical uses in daily life, such
as measuring a table, floor, or paper.
A square has four equal sides, while
a rectangle has opposite sides that
are equal. To measure their area,
one can use square tile units or
square units to estimate or actually
determine how much space they
cover. By placing square tiles inside
the shape, you can find out how
many units make up its total size.
 By placing square tiles inside
the shape, you can find out how
many units make up its total
size.
This is a practical way to
understand the concept of area
in a concrete manner.
 You will notice that each figure
contains small squares inside it.
One square corresponds to 1
square unit. The total number of
square units covering the entire
square or rectangular shape is
called the area.
 Example 1:
Let's go back to Figure A.

To find the area of this

FIGURE A
square, simply count the
total number of squares
inside it. The total
number of squares
inside it is 16.
 Therefore, the area of this
square is 16 square units.
Example 2:
Now look at Figure B.
Just like in the first
example, count the total
number of square units
inside the rectangle. The
total number of squares
inside it is 12. Therefore,
its area is 12 square units.
 The unit used here is simply
"unit" because no centimeters
(cm) or meters (m) are indicated.
If the object is small, the unit
used would be centimeters, and
if the objects are large, the unit
used would be meters.
 Aside from counting square
units, there is another way to
find the area of a rectangle or
square.
 Example 3:

In Figure B, suppose its

length is 3 centimeters and its
3 CM.
width is 4 centimeters.

What do you do with 3 and 4

to get the area of 12 square
centimeters
4 CM.
(sq.cm)?
Area of Rectangle = length x width
A rectangle = L x W
Area = 3 cm. x 4 cm. =
A = 12 sq. cm. or 12 cm

3 CM.

4 CM.
Example 4:

Now find the area of the

square in Figure A.

You can see in the figure that

all its sides are equal in length.
Therefore, it has no distinct
length and width.
The formula for finding the area
of a square is:
Area of square = side x side
A square = s x s
Area = 4m x 4 m
A = 16 sq. m.or 16 m

 Questions:

1. What is the shape of the notebook?

2. What unit was used to measure the
notebook?
3. How do you find the area of the notebook?
 Answers:

The shape of the notebook is a rectangle.

The unit used to measure the notebook is
centimeters. To find the area of a rectangle,
multiply length by width.
 Area of Rectangle = length × width
= 20 cm × 15 cm
= 300 square centimeters

To find the area of a square, multiply

side by side.

Area of Square = side × side =
