8.1 Area and Initial Postulates Copyright Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.

Area and Initial Postulates Because lines are one-dimensional, we consider only length when measuring a line segment. A line segment is measured in linear units such as inches, centimeters, or yards. When a line segment measures 5 centimeters, we write AB = 5 cm (or AB = 5 if units are not stated). The instrument for measuring length is the ruler. 3

Area and Initial Postulates A plane is an infinite two-dimensional surface. A closed or bounded portion of the plane is called a region. When a region such as R in plane M [see Figure 8.1(a)] is measured, we call this measure the area of the plane region. Figure 8.1(a) 4

Area and Initial Postulates The unit used to measure area is known a square unit because it is a square with each side of length 1 [see Figure 8.1(b)]. The measure of the area of region R is the number of nonoverlapping square units that can be placed adjacent to each other in the region. Figure 8.1(b) 5

Area and Initial Postulates In Figure 8.2, the regions have measurable areas and are bounded by figures encountered in earlier chapters. A region is bounded if we can distinguish between its interior and its exterior; in calculating area, we measure the interior of the region. Figure 8.2 6

Area and Initial Postulates Figure 8.2(b) The preceding discussion does not formally define a region or its area. These are accepted as the undefined terms in the following postulate. 7

Area and Initial Postulates Postulate 18 (Area Postulate) Corresponding to every bounded region is a unique positive number A, known as the area of that region. One way to estimate the area of a region is to place it in a grid, as shown in Figure 8.3. Figure 8.3 8

Area and Initial Postulates Counting only the number of whole squares inside the region gives an approximation that is less than the actual area. On the other hand, counting squares that are inside or partially inside provides an approximation that is greater than the actual area. A fair estimate of the area of a region is often given by the average of the smaller and larger approximations just described. 9

Area and Initial Postulates If the area of the circle shown in Figure 8.3 is between 9 and 21 square units, we might estimate its area to be or 15 square units. Figure 8.3 10

Area and Initial Postulates To explore another property of area, we consider ABC and DEF (which are congruent) in Figure 8.4. One triangle can be placed over the other so that they coincide. How are the areas of the two triangles related? The answer is found in the following postulate. Figure 8.4 11

Area and Initial Postulates Postulate 19 If two closed plane figures are congruent, then their areas are equal. 12

Example 1 In Figure 8.5, points B and C trisect two triangles with equal areas. Name Solution: ECB ECD by SAS. Figure 8.5 Then ECB and ECD have equal areas according to Postulate 19. 13

Area and Initial Postulates Consider Figure 8.6. The entire region is bounded by a curve and then subdivided by a line segment into smaller regions R and S. These regions have a common boundary and do not overlap. Figure 8.6 14

Area and Initial Postulates Because a numerical area can be associated with each region R and S, the area of R S (read as R union S and meaning region R joined to region S) is equal to the sum of the areas of R and S. This leads to Postulate 20, in which A R represents the area of region R, A S represents the area of region S, and A R S represents the area of region R S. Postulate 20 (Area-Addition Postulate) Let R and S be two enclosed regions that do not overlap. Then A R S = A R + A S 15

AREA OF A RECTANGLE 16

Area of a Rectangle Study rectangle MNPQ in Figure 8.8, and note that it has dimensions of 3 cm and 4 cm. The number of squares, 1 cm on a side, in the rectangle is 12. Figure 8.8 17

Area of a Rectangle The unit of area is cm 2. Multiplication of dimensions is handled like algebraic multiplication. Compare 3x 4x = 12x 2 and 3 cm 4 cm = 12 cm 2 If the units used to measure the dimensions of a region are not the same, then they must be converted into like units in order to calculate area. 18

Area of a Rectangle For instance, if we need to multiply 2 ft by 6 in., we note that 2 ft = 2(12 in.) = 24 in., so A = 2 ft 6 in.= 24 in. 6 in., and A = 144 in 2. Alternatively, Because the area is unique, we know that 1 ft 2 = 144 in 2. See Figure 8.9. Figure 8.9 19

Area of a Rectangle Recall that one side of a rectangle is called its base and that any line segment between sides and perpendicular to the base is called the altitude of the rectangle. 20

Area of a Rectangle Postulate 21 The area A of a rectangle whose base has length b and whose altitude has length h is given by A = bh. It is also common to describe the dimensions of a rectangle as length l and width w. The area of the rectangle is then written A = lw. 21

Example 3 Find the area of rectangle ABCD in Figure 8.10 if AB = 12 cm and AD = 7 cm. Figure 8.10 22

Example 3 Solution Because it makes no difference which dimension is chosen as base b and which as altitude h, we arbitrarily choose AB = b = 12 cm and AD = h = 7 cm. Then A = bh = 12 cm 7 cm = 84 cm 2 If units are not provided for the dimensions of a region, we assume that they are alike. In such a case, we simply give the area as a number of square units. 23

Area of a Rectangle Theorem 8.1.1 The area A of a square whose sides are each of length s is given by A = s 2. 24

AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM 25

Area of a Parallelogram A rectangle s altitude is one of its sides, but that is not true of a parallelogram. An altitude of a parallelogram is a perpendicular line segment drawn from one side to the opposite side, known as the base. A side may have to be extended in order to show this altitude-base relationship in a drawing. 26

Area of a Parallelogram In Figure 8.11(a), if is designated as the base, then any of the segments or is an altitude corresponding to that base (or, for that matter, to base VT ). Figure 8.11(a) 27

Area of a Parallelogram Another look at RSTV [in Figure 8.11(b)] shows that could just as well have been chosen as the base. Possible choices for the corresponding altitude in this case include and In the theorem that follows, it is necessary to select a base and an altitude drawn to that base! Figure 8.11(b) 28

Area of a Parallelogram Theorem 8.1.2 The area A of a parallelogram with a base of length b and with corresponding altitude of length h is given by A = bh 29

Example 4 Given that all dimensions in Figure 8.13 are in inches, find the area of MNPQ by using base a) MN. b) PN. Figure 8.13 30

Example 4 Solution a) MN = QP = b = 8, and the corresponding altitude is of length QT = h = 5. Then A = 8 5 = 40 in 2 b) PN = b = 6, so the corresponding altitude length is Then = 40 in 2 31

Area of a Parallelogram In Example 4, the area of MNPQ was not changed when a different base (length) and the length of its corresponding altitude were used to calculate its area. Postulate 18 (Area Postulate) Corresponding to every bounded region is a unique positive number A, known as the area of that region. 32

AREA OF A TRIANGLE 33

Area of a Triangle The formula used to calculate the area of a triangle follows easily from the formula for the area of a parallelogram. In the formula, any side of the triangle can be chosen as its base; however, we must use the length of the corresponding altitude for that base. Theorem 8.1.3 The area A of a triangle whose base has length b and whose corresponding altitude has length h is given by 34

Example 6 In the figure, find the area of CD = 7 cm. ABC if AB = 10 cm and 35

Example 6 Solution With as base, b = 10 cm. The corresponding altitude for base is so h = 7 cm. Now becomes A = 35 cm 2 36

Area of a Parallelogram Corollary 8.1.4 The area of a right triangle with legs of lengths a and b is given by 37
