Area of an object = length (say a) * breadth (say b)
Therefore, area of a square = a^2 (for a square, length = breadth)
Area of a rectangle = a*b
However, area of a cylinder = 2*Pi*r^2 + Pi*d*h
Since, we're talking about area here, we shouldn't take height into consideration because if we do, then it becomes volume, r8?
agghh....I'm totally confused.....can you plz tell me where I'm goin wrong? What are the main factors you need to consider when finding the area and volume of a figure (square, rectangle, prism...)
Why do we add up the circles when we don't add up the sides in a square or rectangle, though they're equal?
