For different shapes, the equation to calculate their area is different. I'll name a couple of the most commonly used:

Square:

A=s^2, where s is the side length.

Rectangle:

A=lw, where l is length. and w is width.

Triangle:

A=0.5bh, where b is base, and h is height.

Circle:

A=πr^2, where r is radius.

Hope this helps!!
