6th 7-3 Find Area of Trapezoids and Kites

Front

What is the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = (1/2) × (Base1 + Base2) × Height

Front

What is the formula for finding the area of a kite?

Back

Area = (1/2) × (Diagonal1 × Diagonal2)

Front

How do you find the height of a trapezoid if you know the area and the lengths of the bases?

Back

Height = (2 × Area) / (Base1 + Base2)

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What is a kite in geometry?

Back

A kite is a quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent sides that are equal.

Front

If the bases of a trapezoid are 10 cm and 6 cm, and the height is 4 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = (1/2) × (10 + 6) × 4 = 32 cm²

Front

If the diagonals of a kite are 8 cm and 6 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = (1/2) × (8 × 6) = 24 cm²

Front

What is the relationship between the diagonals of a kite?

Back

The diagonals of a kite intersect at right angles and one diagonal bisects the other.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (1/2) × Base × Height

Front

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm?

Back

Area = (1/2) × 10 × 5 = 25 cm²
