Looking Back at your Lesson

From your previous lessons, you have learned that Area is the number of
square units (ex. Square meter or written as m2) needed to cover the surface of a plane
figure.
To find the Area of a Plane Figure:
 Area of a Rectangle = Length x width ; A = lw
 Area of a Parallelogram = base x height ; A = bh
 Area of a Square = side x side ; A = s2
1
 Area of a triangle = ½ x base x height ; A = bh
2
2
 Area of a circle = pi x r ; , where pi ≈ 3.14

Find the area of the plane figure.

4. Find t area of a rectangle that has a dimension of 18 meters by 10 meters.
Area = ___________________
5. Find the area of a circle whose radius is 7 meters. Area = _________________

Introduction of the Topic

Lesson 1: Area of Composite Figures

MATH 6 QUARTER 3 WEEK 6 2

 In order to find the composite area of two or more shapes, simply find the area
of each shape and add them together. The order in which you calculate the areas does
not matter, and the commutative property states that it does not matter which order
you add them in.
Composite figures are made from two or more geometric figures. To find the
area of a composite figure, split the figures into two or 3 so the formulas can be used.
Next, add the area of the different regularly shaped figures to obtain the area of the
composite figures.
Example 1: Find the area of the shaded region.

MATH 6 QUARTER 3 WEEK 6 3

Example 2: Find the area of the shaded region.

To get the area of the shaded region, subtract the area of the smaller rectangle from
the larger rectangle.

12 ft2
60 ft2 – 12 ft2 =

60 ft2

Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 48 ft2

Lesson 2: Solving Routine and Non-Routine Problems

Problem 1:

MATH 6 QUARTER 3 WEEK 6 4

Solution :

1.Understand

a. What is asked?
- The area of the roller-rink floor.
- The cost of hardwood flooring
b. What are the given facts?
80 ft – length , 40 ft – width, 20 ft – radius and P 200 per
square foot

2.Plan

Let’s analyze and identify the figures. The figures that we can easily
identify are the rectangle and the two semi-circle. Find the area of each figure.

3.Solve :

Area of a rectangle : Area of the Circle :

2
A=L x W A=π r

= 80 ft x 40 ft A=π ( 20 ft )2

= 3 200 ft2 A=¿3.14 x 400 ft2 = 1 256 ft2

Areatotal =Area rectangle + Area¿˚ ¿

Areatotal =3200+ 1256

2
¿ 4 456 ft

If hardwood flooring costs P 200 per square foot, then :

4 456 ft 2 x P200=P 891200

4.Check : P 891 200÷ P200=4 456

MATH 6 QUARTER 3 WEEK 6 5

Problem 2:

Mr. Mondoy wants to put a circular pond with a diameter of 6 meters in

his 14 by 18-meter rectangular backyard. How many square meters will be left
in his backyard after putting up the pond?

To find the area left in his backyard, we need to get the area first of the circular
pond and then subtract the area from the area of the backyard.

Area of the circular bond Area of the rectangular backyard

D= 6 meters, so the radius is 3m L = 18 m ; W = 14 m

A = lw

= 3. 14 (32) = (18) (14)

= 3.14 (9) = 252 m2

= 28.26 m2

Area of Backyard – Area of pond = Area left in his backyard

–
252 m2 28.26 m2 = 223.74 m2

Answer: There will be 223.74 sq.m of his backyard left after putting up the pond.

Remember

Composite figures are made from two or more geometric figures. To find the

area of a composite figure, split the figures into two or 3 so the formulas can be used.

Next, add the area of the different regularly shaped figures to obtain the area of the

composite figures.
