Area of a Parallelogram Area = product of its base and height A= bhBase must be perpendicular to the height b h 5cm 3cm 9cm
Example Find the perimeter of a parallelogram, in which the base is 4ft and the area is 12 .
Area of a Triangle Area = one half of the product of its base and height A= bh or A = Base perpendicular to height h h h b b b If b = 4” and h = 6”
Example—finding a side The area of a triangle is 24 and its height is 3 cm. Find the length of its corresponding base.
Area of a Trapezoid Area = (average of the bases)(height) A = h h Remember: height is perpendicular to both bases
Example 1--Trapezoid Find the area of the trapezoid. 20 in 25 in 18 in 36 in
Example 2--Trapezoid Find the area of the trapezoid. 11 ft 13 ft 16 ft
Area of a Rhombus The area of a rhombus is half the product of the lengths of its diagonals. A = Example: Find the area if the diagonals are: 6 in and 8 in
Area of a Kite The area of a kite is half the product of the lengths of its diagonals. A = Example 1: Kite with diagonals 9 cm & 8 cm
Example 2--Kite Find the area of the kite. 5” 4” A = 6”
Formulas Square: A = bh Rectangle: A = bh Parallelogram: A = bh Trapezoid: A = h Triangle: A = ½ bh Rhombus: A = Kite: A =
Area Addition Postulate The area of a region is equal to the sum of the areas of its nonoverlappingparts. Best way to find this area is to find the area of rectangle + area of triangle
Example—Partitioning Shapes Find the area of the shape below: 4 9 14 13 16 Find the sum of the areas of the rectangle and the triangle
