NOTE

AREA OF PLANE FIGURES

Enlargement/Reduction of Plane Figures

Enlargement is the transformation of an object that has the same shape, but increases in size of the object.

Reduction is a transformation of an object that has the same shape, but decreases in size of the object.

In both enlargement and reduction, the angles of the shapes remain the same, only the sides of the shape enlarge (bigger) or reduce (smaller).

Enlargement and reduction are an example of similar shapes (shapes with the same shape but different sizes).

The amount of which the object is enlarged or reduced is called the factor of enlargement or the factor of reduction.  This can also be called the scale Factor

i.e, Scale Factor =  length of the enlargement

                               Corresponding length

For example: An object is given to be enlarge with a ratio of 1:2

Procedure

1. Draw an oblique line from a suitable corner. For instance, point A

2. Sum up the total of the numbers in the given ratio 1:2

i.e 1 + 2 = 3

Mark from point A mark 3 equal divisions on the oblique line

3. Draw a straight line from point 1 to point B at the end of line AB

4. Project line AB more to the right. Now, draw a line parallel to line 1B from point 3 to intersect with the projected line at C.

5. From point A, project lines to pass through each corner of the object.

6. From point C, draw main lines parallel to each side of the object.

An object is given to be reduce an object to a ratio of 5 : 3

Procedure

1. Draw an oblique line from a suitable corner. For instance point A

2. The highest number in the given ratio 5 : 3 is 5. From point A mark 5 equal divisions on the oblique line.

3. Draw a straight line from point 5 to point B at the end of the line AB

4. Draw a line parallel to line 5B, from point 3 to intersect with line AB at C

5. From point A project lines to pass through every corner of the object.

6. From point C, draw main lines parallel to each sides of the object

Determination of Areas of Regular and Irregular Figures

To find the Area of Irregular Shapes, first, we need to divide the Irregular Shape into Regular Shapes that you can recognize such as triangles, rectangles, circles, Squares and so forth.Then, find the Area of these individual Shapes and add them to get an Area of Irregular Shapes.

Example. Find the Area of the given Shape?

  Solution:

The figure above has three Regular Shapes.

Start dividing from the top, it has a triangle, a rectangle, and a trapezoid.

We will find the Area for each of those three Shapes and add the results to get the final Area of a figure.

Triangle Area of triangle = (base × height)/2= (3 × 4)/2= 12/2= 6

Rectangle Area of rectangle = length × width= 4 × 10= 40

Trapezoid Area of trapezoid = ((b1 + b2) × h)/2= ((3 + 5) × 2)/2= (8) × 2/2= 16/2= 8

Thus Area of the given Shape = 6 + 40 + 8 = 54.

 

EVALUATION: 1. What is enlargement and reduction.

  1. Enlarge the shape below to a ratio of 1:2

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation
