IV. PROCEDURES
A. Preparatory Activities/Drill
1. Identify the figures bellow.

2. Match the figures in column A with their corresponding formula (area) in

column B
COLUMN A COLUMN B

1. Triangle A. l x w
2. Square B. b x h
3. Rectangle C. ½ b x h
4. Circle D. s x s
5. Parallelogram E. 𝜋𝑟 2
F. C=2 𝜋r

3. Motivation
A. As you have learned in your previous grades or lessons. The area of a
figure is the amount of flat space that the figure covers. Area is measured in
square units, such as inches or square centimeters: Do you remember how to
find the area of: rectangle, square, parallelogram, triangle and circle? Text
book pages 261-263. Example 1-5.
B. Show this façade of the house.
The pupil will describe the facade of t house.
What are the different figure in the illustration?
B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
 a. Introduce composite figure or shape.
b. Problem Opener
Father wants to paint façade of the house. He needs to find
out the area so that he would know the amount of paint to buy. The
side of the square is 12 meters and the height of the triangle is 13
meters. What is the area of the façade of the house? How many
figures used in the structure.
Who wants to paint the façade? 13 m

12m
Why do you think father will paint the house?
If you are the one to ask, do you want that your house be painted to. Why?
c. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills # 1
How to find the area of the structure?
To find the total area of the structure, we need to find the area of each figure.
Area of the square = s x s 144
= 12 x 12
m²
= 144 square meters (m²)

Area of the triangle = ½ b x h

= ½ 12 x 13

= ½ 156 78 m²

= 78 square meters (m²)

Area of the façade of the house = area of the square plus the area of the

triangle

= 144 m² + 78 m²

= 222 square meters (m²)

d. Discussing the new concepts and practicing new skills #2

Another example:
3 ft 4 ft 3 ft
Find the area of the shaded region?
6 ft 6 ft
10 ft
 We can identify two rectangles from the figure one that measures 3 ft by 4 ft
(smaller) and the 10 ft by 6 ft rectangle (larger) where the smaller one overlapped. How
many figures or shape on the drawing? What kind of composite figures are they?
Let us solve the area of each rectangle.
Area of the smaller rectangle
A=lxw 4 ft

= 4 ft x 3 ft
3 ft
= 12 ft²
Area of the larger rectangle
A=lxw 6 ft
= 10 ft x 6 ft
= 60 ft²
10 ft

To get the area of the region of the shaded region, subtract the area of the
smaller rectangle from the area of the larger rectangle.
Area shaded = A larger – a smaller
= 60 ft – 12 ft
= 48 ft²
The area of the shaded region is 48 ft²
e. Developing mastery
Find the area of the shaded region. Use π = 3.14
Area of the triangle

A=½bxh
14 m 14 m
= ½ 14 x 12

= ½ x 168 m²

12 m = 84 m²
12 m
Area of the circle
A=πxsxs
= (3.14)(4)(4)
= 3.14 x 16 m²
= 50.24 m²
Area of the shaded region
A shaded = A triangle – A circle
 = 84 m² - 50.24 m²
= 33.76 m²
f. Finding practical application of concept and skills in daily living
Group Work: “WINNER TAKES ALL” divide the class into 2 groups.
Mechanics: the team who answer first and get the answer correctly will be declared the
winner.
Before we start the activity what are the things to be consider while doing the activity?
How much larger is flan made in a 12 inch circular molder? (Use π=3.14)

Solution:
First we make illustration of each, to compute the areas

12 12
inches inches

The area of the square is

A=sxs
= 12 inches x 12 inches
= 144 square inches (in²)

The diameter of the circle is 12 inches, so the radius is 6 inches. The area of
the circle is:

A=πxrxr
= 3.14 x 6 x 6
= 3.14 x 36
= 113.04 in²

The square leche flan is larger by about 144 in² - 113.04 in² = 30.96 in²
VALUING:
Let the pupils evaluate their behavior during activity.
g. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lessons
What is composite figures?
How do we find the area of composite figures?
h. Evaluating learning
Refer to textbook pages 268-269 an let the pupils answer Evaluate A 1-14.
i. Additional activities for application and remediation
1. Refer to textbook page 270. Evaluate B 1-7.
2. Draw your own perspective house with its corresponding length and width
then solve area.
V. ASSIGNMENT
Read, analyze then solve.
A roller rink floor is shown below. Each end is a semi-circle. What is its area? If hand wood
flooring cost Php. 220.00 per square foot, how much will the flooring cost?

85 ft

2o ft 40 ft
