When you are trying to find the area of the shape do you add all the numbers of the shape
To find the area of a shape, you typically need to use a formula specific to that shape. For example, to find the area of a rectangle, you would multiply the length by the width. For a triangle, you would typically use the formula A = 1/2bh, where b is the base and h is the height.
Simply adding all the numbers in a shape would not give you an accurate measurement of the area. It's important to use the correct formula for the specific shape you are working with.
