Area is the measure of the amount of surface covered by something. Area formulas for different shapes are sometimes different, but for the most part, area is calculated by multiplying length times width. This is used when calculating area of squares and rectangles. Once you have the number answer to the problem, you need to figure out the units. When calculating area, you will take the units given in the problem (feet, yards, etc) and square them, so your unit measure would be in square feet (ft.2) (or whatever measure they gave you).

Area Example 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
