Shape
Shape describes the two-dimensional contour that characterizes an object or area, in contrast to a three-dimensional solid. Examples include:

Area
Area is the extent or measurement of a surface. All shapes represent enclosed two-dimensional spaces, and thus have area.

Circles
A circle is a round plane figure whose boundary consists of points equidistant from the center.

Circles
The circle is the simplest and strongest of all the shapes. Circles are found within the geometry of countless engineered products, such as buttons, tubes, wires, cups, and pins. A drilled hole is also based on the simple circle.

Area of a Circle
In order to calculate the area of a circle, the concept of (pi) must be understood. is a constant ratio that exists between the circumference of a circle and its diameter.
The ratio states that for every unit of diameter distance, the circumference (distance around the circle) will be approximately 3.14 units.

Area of a Circle
To calculate the area of a circle, the radius must be known.
≈ 3.14r = radiusA = area
A = r 2

Ellipses
An ellipse is generated by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant and equal to the major axis.

Ellipses
To calculate the area of an ellipse, the lengths of the major and minor axis must be known.2a = major axis2b = minor axis
A = ab = 3.14A = area

Polygons
A polygon is any plane figure bounded by straight lines. Examples include the triangle, rhombus, and trapezoid.

Triangles
A triangle is a three-sided polygon. The sum of the interior angles will always equal 180º.
All triangles can be classified as:
• Right Triangles
• Acute Triangles
• Obtuse Triangles

Triangles
The triangle is the simplest, and most structurally stable of all polygons.
This is why triangles are found in all types of structural designs. Trusses are one such example.

Sometimes the terms inscribed and circumscribed are associated with the creation of triangles and other polygons, as well as area calculations.

Area of a Triangle
The area of a triangle can be calculated by .5(bh).
b = base
h = height
A = area
A = .5(bh)

Quadrilaterals
A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. Examples include the square, rhombus, trapezoid, and trapezium:

Parallelograms
A parallelogram is a four-sided polygon with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Examples include the square, rectangle, rhombus and rhomboid.

Parallelograms
The area of a parallelogram can be calculated by A = bh
b = base
h = height
A = area
A = bh

Regular Multisided Polygons
A regular multisided polygon has equal angles, equal sides, and can be inscribed in or circumscribed around a circle. Examples of regular multisided polygons include the pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, and octagon.

Multisided Polygons
To calculate the area of a multisided polygon, a side length, distance between flats (or diameter of inscribed circle), and the number of sides must be known.
