Activity 1
1.1. Define the concept of "area".
The concept of "area" refers to the measure of the amount of space inside a two-dimensional shape
or surface. It quantifies the extent of a surface in square units, such as square centimeters or square
meters.
1.2. Identify and explain any two key concepts from the definition of an area given above. These
are terms that are central to the main points of the description of an area.
Measure:
Explanation: Measure refers to the process of quantifying an attribute, in this case, the extent
of a surface. In the context of area, it involves determining how many square units fit within a
shape.
Significance: This concept is crucial because it provides a standard way to compare different
shapes and sizes by quantifying their surfaces.
Two-dimensional shape:
Explanation: A two-dimensional shape is a flat figure that has only length and width but no
depth. Examples include squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles.
Significance: Understanding that area pertains specifically to two-dimensional shapes is
essential because it differentiates area from volume, which applies to three-dimensional
objects.
