Area is the number of square units inside the boundary of a two-dimensional figure. The area of a triangle is one-half of the base length times the height. The area of a circle is times the square of the radius. The area of a trapezoid is one-half the height (h) times the sum of the base lengths b 1 and b 2. To find the perimeter, add all side lengths. or substitute 12 for b and 8 for h.
