TO FIND THE AREA OF A SQUARE:

Area = Side Squared or A = S x S or A = S?

TO FIND THE AREA OF A RECTANGLE:

Area = Length times width (formula) or

A = L x W or A = LW

TO FIND THE AREA OF A TRIANGLE:

Area = One-half the base times the height  or  A = ? bh or A =

TO FIND THE AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM:
