Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Basic ideas and figures between the same parallels, 2. Theorem 19 and its corollary, 3. Theorem 20: area of a triangle and a parallelogram.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 35 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Area Theorems after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Equal figures mean figures equal in area.
  • Congruent figures are always equal in area, but equal area does not always mean congruence.
  • Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height.
  • Figures between the same parallels have equal altitudes.
  • Equal bases and same parallels lead to strong area comparisons.
  • Same base means the same base segment is used.
  • Theorem 19 compares parallelograms with the same base and same parallels.
  • Triangles ADF and BCE are congruent by ASA in the proof.
  • Congruent triangles are equal in area.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any two figures with equal area must be congruent.

Figures between the same parallels can have any bases, so the area comparison still works even if the bases are not on the same line.

Same base and equal base mean the same thing.
