Presentation Transcript
What is area? • The amount of space that a figure encloses • The number of square units that covers a shape or figure. • It is two-dimensional • It is always answered in square units
Area of a square • S is the side • Area= side x side • A= s x s
Find the area of a square using the formula • To find the area of a square, multiply the side x side • Area = side x side • Area = 3 m x 3 m • The area is 9 m2 3 m 3 m
Area of a rectangle • b is the base • h is the height • Area= base x height • A= b x h • You may also see this as A = l x w (Area = length x width)
Find the area of the rectangle using the formula • To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length x width. • Area= length x width • The length= 6 m • The width=2 m • Area=6 x 2 • The area is 12 m2 6 m 2 m
Area of a triangle • B is the base • H is the height • Area= ½ x base x height • A= ½ x b x h
Find the area of the triangle using the formula Area = 1/2 x base x height A= 1/2 x b x h A= 1/2 x 8 x 5m A= 1/2 x 40 square meters A= 20 square meters The area is 20 m2 5 m 8 m
Area of a parallelogram Do Re Mi • b is the base • h is the height • Area= base x height • A= b x h
Find the area of parallelogram using the formula Area = base x height A= b x h A= 4 x 3 A= 12 square units The area is 12 units2
What is the area of this figure? • It is a square • Formula for the area of a square is side x side • Side= 17 m • Area= 17 x 17 • A= 289 m2 17 m. 17 m
What is the area of this figure? It is a triangle Formula for the area of a triangle is A = ½ x base x height 4 cm 13 cm Base= 13 cm Side= 4 cm Area= ½ x 13 x 4 A= 26 cm2
What is the area of this figure? It is a parallelogram Formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = base x height Base= 3 units Height= 6 units Area= 6 x 3 A= 18 units2
What is the area of this figure? • It is a rectangle • Formula for the area of a rectangle is length x width • Length= 8m • Width= 3 m • Area= 8 x 3 • A=24 m2 8 m 3 m
What is the area of this figure? • It is a square • Formula for the area of a square is side x side • Side= 12 cm • Area= 12 x 12 • A= 144cm2 12 cm 12 cm
What is the area of this figure? • It is a triangle • Formula for the area of a triangle is ½ x base x height • Base= 8 m • Side= 5 m • Area= ½ x 8m x 5 m • A=20 m2 5 m 8 m
What is the area of this figure? It is a parallelogram Formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = base x height Base= 5 units Height= 5 units Area= 5 x 5 A= 25 units2
What is the area of this figure? It is a rectangle Formula for the area of a rectangle is A = length x width Length= 13 cm Width= 4 cm Area= 13 x 4 A= 52 cm2 13 cm 4 cm
What is the area of this figure? 7 cm It is a rectangle Formula for the area of a rectangle is A = length x width Length= 16 cm Width= 7 cm 16 cm Area= 16 x 7 A= 112 cm2
Do you remember the formula for the area of a circle? For a circle, the area is: A = Πr2 = Π x 52 =78.54 cm2
What about unusual / composite shapes? This shape can be divided into two rectangles. Find their areas and add them together. Area 2= l x b = 4 x 6 = 24 cm2 Area 1= l x b = 8 x 20 = 160 cm2 Total area = A1 + A2 = 160 + 24 =184 cm2
Try another one: In this case, a measurement needs to be found before you begin. 7 m A2 = 15 x 7 =105 cm2 A1 = 5 x 8 =40cm2 Total area = A1 + A2 = 40 + 105 = 145 cm2
What did you learn? • What is area? • How are the units of area usually expressed? • How many dimensions is area? • What does the “S” mean in the formula for the area of a square? • What is the formula for the area of a square? • What is the formula for the area of a rectangle? • What does the “h” stand for in the formula for the area of a triangle?
More… • What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram? • What does the “b” stand for in the formula for the area of a triangle? • What does the “h” stand for in the formula for the area of a rectangle? • What is the formula for the area of a rectangle? • What are the four formulas we have learned today?
Closure: Remember Formulas! • Square: A = s x s • Rectangle : A = b x h • Triangle: A = ½ x b x h • Parallelogram: A= b x h • Circle: A = π x r2

Tips for creating an effective presentation
Consider the following tips to keep your audience interested.
Minimize the number of slides
To maintain a clear message and to keep your audience attentive and interested, keep the number of slides in your presentation to a minimum.
Choose an audience-friendly font size
The audience must be able to read your slides from a distance. Generally speaking, a font size smaller than 30 might be too difficult for the audience to see.
Keep your slide text simple
You want your audience to listen to you present your information, instead of reading the screen. Use bullets or short sentences, and try to keep each item to one line.
Some projectors crop slides at the edges, so that long sentences might be cropped.
Use visuals to help express your message
Pictures, charts, graphs, and SmartArt graphics provide visual cues for your audience to remember. Add meaningful art to complement the text and messaging on your slides.
As with text, however, avoid including too many visual aids on your slide.
Make labels for charts and graphs understandable
Use only enough text to make label elements in a chart or graph comprehensible.
Apply subtle, consistent slide backgrounds
Choose an appealing, consistent template or theme that is not too eye-catching. You don't want the background or design to detract from your message.
However, you also want to provide a contrast between the background color and text color. The built-in themes in PowerPoint set the contrast between a light background with dark colored text or dark background with light colored text.
For more information about how to use themes, see Apply a theme to add color and style to your presentation .
Check the spelling and grammar
To earn and maintain the respect of your audience, always check the spelling and grammar in your presentation .

HEALTH MATTERS
Stanford scientists share practical prevention tips for inflammation, cognitive health, and heart disease at Health Matters
The Bay Area community was out in full force on Saturday, May 18, for Stanford Medicine’s annual free community health event, Health Matters . Held outdoors on the medical school campus, more than 1,500 attendees gathered to listen to health talks and explore interactive exhibits at a health pavilion staffed by professionals from Stanford Medicine and Stanford Health Care.
In the three health talks, Stanford Medicine physician-scientists spoke to a full-capacity crowd about their latest research and practical tips to fight inflammation with food, maintain brain resiliency, and improve cardiovascular health. Another 500-plus people tuned in via livestream.
Food’s protective power against inflammation
Inflammation is an appropriate adaptive response, signaling the body to fight off infection or heal an injury. But when the body is in a state of chronic inflammation, it can contribute to obesity, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, depression, autoimmune disease, and even cancer. Remarkably, fighting inflammation begins in the kitchen, according to the day's first speaker.
Tamiko Katsumoto, MD, discusses food as medicine at Health Matters. Photo by Steve Fisch.
“The biggest driver of chronic inflammation is something we have control over, and that is our diet,” said Tamiko Katsumoto , MD, clinical associate professor of medicine–immunology and rheumatology. There is an epidemic of chronic disease in the United States. Currently, 6 out of 10 adults have one chronic disease, with the primary driver being poor nutrition. The standard American diet, comprised of ultra-processed foods and animal products, is now the leading cause of poor health. Switching to a plant-based diet can help quell inflammation if it’s already started and reduce the chances of developing chronic inflammatory diseases, said Katsumoto. It can also help reduce the growing rates of obesity in our country. “Plant-based diets can be extremely powerful, and food can be medicine.”
Aiming for a whole-food, plant-based diet is not just good for overall health; it’s also good for the planet—a cause Katsumoto is equally passionate about. “If the world's two billion consumers cut their meat and dairy consumption by 40%, it would save the land area two times the size of India and avoid 168 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions,” Katsumoto said.
Brain power
“We are in an explosion of brain science,” said Frank Longo , MD, PhD, the George E. and Lucy Becker Professor of Medicine and professor of neurology and neurological sciences. “For centuries, the brain has been a black box where scientists did not know what was going on in the brains of living people. During the past few years, technologies have become available that are rapidly changing that reality.
New imaging technology, coupled with omics—the ability to measure thousands of genes and proteins in the blood or spinal fluid—gives scientists a once-impossible view of living people's brains. “This revolution in neuroscience has yielded advanced methods for detecting and treating brain disorders than were previously imaginable just a few decades ago,” said Longo. These technologies have opened the door to new insights and strategies to help increase brain resiliency.
Frank Longo, MD, PhD, discusses breakthroughs in neurological sciences. Photo by Steve Fisch.
While there is no current curative treatment for the most common forms of cognitive decline—dementia, Lewy body dementia, and Alzheimer’s—there are several lifestyle changes people can make to improve brain resilience and function, including exercise, diet, cognitive engagement, and sleep. Longo said exercise has the most profound impact, reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s by 50%.
What researchers have discovered is that neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s are the result of multiple factors—amyloid plaques, Tau tangles, and neuro-inflammation—and, as such, require powerful drugs that address multiple mechanisms. Cognitive decline also begins decades before symptoms occur. In his health talk, Longo discussed two promising new therapies being studied to reduce the progression of dementia. The first, a new compound developed by the Longo Lab, normalizes abnormal proteins that accumulate in the spinal fluid 10 to 20 years before Alzheimer’s disease starts. Results of first-in-human trials show that taking this drug early could delay the onset of Alzheimer's by 10 years, potentially eliminating 90% of cases, he said. The drug is scheduled to undergo a major Phase 3 trial at multiple centers across the United States in the next 12 to 18 months. He also mentioned an ongoing clinical trial at Stanford to study an amyloid reduction antibody treatment.
Improved imaging, novel blood tests and biomarkers, and robust clinical trials continue to illuminate the biology of the brain and provide hope for new treatments that will prevent or slow down the onset of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Protecting your heart
In a Q&A-style talk, Joseph Wu , MD, PhD, the Simon H. Stertzer, MD, Professor of Medicine, director of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, professor of medicine–cardiology and of radiology, and current president of the American Heart Association, shared his expertise on a variety of heart health topics, ranging from wearables technology to weight loss medications, current CPR guidelines, supplements, and the indispensable role of exercise and diet in maintaining cardiovascular health.

To help reduce the risk of heart disease, Wu highlighted four modifiable lifestyle changes everyone can implement—exercise, sleep, avoiding tobacco, and diet. Monitoring disease risk factors, specifically LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and body mass index (BMI), is also critical for patients and their clinicians in managing cardiovascular health. For patients with high cholesterol, Wu said the gold standard treatment continues to be statins, a drug that blocks the liver from synthesizing cholesterol. “Statins are very effective and very safe,” said Wu, who takes one himself to control his cholesterol.
While statins remain a vital tool in a cardiologist’s arsenal, weight loss is the next frontier. Wu addressed the benefits of medications known as GLP-1 agonists, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, which work to tell your brain you’re full, slow down your gut so you feel full, and reduce glucose. When taken over three years by patients with a history of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease, these medications were shown to lower the risk of recurrence of these conditions by 20%. “Reducing body weight by just 10 to 20% dramatically improves your cardiovascular health,” Wu said.
Another area of increasing attention in cardiovascular medicine is the advent of wearable devices that track exercise, heart rate, and sleep. Wu noted that these modern smartwatches and rings can provide patients and physicians with objective health data and even help detect cardiac abnormalities.

Safeway removes self-checkout at Bay Area stores following shoplifting spike
by RAY LEWIS | The National Desk
OAKLAND, Calif. (TND) — Safeway has removed self-checkout machines at several stores in the San Francisco Bay Area following a rise in theft, according to KRON .
The supermarket chain is reportedly removing the machines to crack down on shoplifting.
Operational changes have been made at select stores throughout the Bay Area given the increasing amount of theft,” Safeway told the outlet. “Those updates include adjustments to the front end of the store to deter shoplifting.”
The chain is one of several companies to adjust operations in Bay Area stores to combat shoplifting. In February, Fredericksen Hardware & Paint reportedly instituted a strategy where employees accompanied customers while they shop.
“Like other local businesses, we are working on ways to curtail escalating theft so we can ensure the wellbeing of our employees and foster a welcoming environment for our customers,” Safeway told KRON. “These long-planned security improvements were implemented with those goals in mind.”
Safeway did not immediately return The National Desk’s request for comment.

Earlier this year, California State Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, D-Los Angeles, introduced legislation aimed at limiting employees' responsibilities in stores with self-checkout machines.
The Retail Theft Prevention and Safe Staffing Act, or SB 1446, would prohibit grocery or drug stores from having a self-checkout option unless employees are free from other job duties and there is a 2-to-1 machine-to-employee ratio.
While it’s crucial to adapt to new technologies, protecting jobs and worker safety must be prioritized in the process,” State Sen. Smallwood-Cuevas said. “SB 1446 will protect workers and the public by ensuring safe staffing levels at grocery and drug retail stores and regulating self-checkout machines.”
The lawmaker argued poor and “working” communities have experienced the brunt of retail theft, which has created a more unsafe environment.
“While some of the largest retailers have already recognized that these problems have begun to limit the ability for them to have safe environments and make the revenues that they need, they’ve decided to eliminate self-checkout machines entirely from their stores,” she said. “But, too many have not.”
In January, a Richmond, California, Walmart restricted access to some items to curtail shoplifting.
“Those determinations are made on a store-by-store basis,” the retailer told The National Desk. “Walmart will continue to explore additional ways to protect its merchandise ... and keep product in stock for the millions of customers it serves each week.”
