The document discusses calculating the areas of polygons like parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, squares, and rectangles. It provides the area formulas for each shape and worked examples showing how to use the formulas by substituting the values given into the formula and solving. The key area formulas covered are for parallelograms as A=bh, trapezoids as A=(b1+b2)h/2, triangles as A=1/2bh or A=bh/2, squares and rectangles as A=lw.
