Geometry - Area

Area is the amount of space a shape takes up. In Kindle 2, we measured some shapes on the floor using unconventional units.

 Four children can fit into this square lying down.
But, eleven children can fit sitting up!
 Four children can nearly fit into this triangle lying down.
 Nine children can fit sitting down.
The whole class can fit into this triangle standing up.

Which shape has the greatest area or takes up the most space?
