Keywords:
Area method, polygons, the area function, arithmetic progression, geometric progression
Abstract
The area method is commonly used to solve certain classes of geometric problems. It is also a powerful tool in solving algebraic or calculus problems in high school. In this article, we mention the area method and how to apply it to calculate sums of terms in certain arithmetic progressions and geometric progressions.
