    This document provides a lesson on estimating the area of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. It discusses counting the number of square units completely inside each figure and combining partially included squares to form whole squares. Examples are provided for estimating areas of different figures. The document also motivates applying area estimation skills to furniture design and provides word problems involving estimating floor tile needs based on measured areas.

    Trapezoid
    Drill

    Solve for n.
    1. 9 x 8 = n
    2. 12 x 6 = n
    3. (15 x 8) ÷ 2 = n
    4. (16 + 4) = n

    Consider yourself a designer of
    furniture and fixtures for homes. How
    would your knowledge of area of the
    geometric figures you have studied
    help you in designing new products?

    Performing the
    Activities

    Divide the class into five groups and give each


    group a drawing of the figures. The groups should
    also be provided with manila paper and a marker to
    write the steps on how the group was able to
    estimate the area of the figures. The outputs should
    be posted and used during the presentation. After
    all the groups have finished, ask a member of each
    group to report on the output.

    the Activities
    • How did you find the
    activity?
    • What helped you in
    estimating the area of
    each figure?
    • How did you estimate the
    area of each figure?
    By counting, how many
    square units were used to
    cover each figure
    completely?

    When only part of the square is included in the


    figure, we put it together with those partly
    square in the figure to form a whole square.

    Can you estimate the
    area of the figures?
    You can estimate the area of a
    parallelogram, triangle, and a
    trapezoid by counting how many
    square units it takes to cover each
    figure completely. When only part
    of a square is included in the
    figure, you may be able to put it
    together with a part of another
    square in the figure to form one
    whole square.
    = 1 sq cm or 1 cm 2
    The area of the parallelogram is 28 cm 2

    The area of the triangle is 20 cm 2

    The area of the trapezoid is 26 cm 2

    Summarizing the
    Lesson
    To estimate the area of a parallelogram, a
    triangle, or a trapezoid:
    Count the number of square units that are
    completely inside the figure.
    When only part of the square is included in
    the figure, put it together with those partly
    square in the figure to form a whole square.

    Apply Your Skills!

    Our school principal wants to know how many floor tiles (or
    linoleum sheet or wood tiles?) would be needed to cover the entire
    floor of our classroom. She needs to know the exact area, because
    she doesn’t want to either order too many tiles and waste money,
    or too little and not be able to cover the entire floor. Your job is to
    measure this room, determine the floor area, and write a letter to
    the principal telling her how many tile to buy. The letter should
    include an explanation about how you arrived at your estimates.
