Area of Trapezoids

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What are the bases of a trapezoid?

Back

The bases of a trapezoid are the two parallel sides.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.

Front

What is the height of a trapezoid?

Back

The height is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

Front

If the bases of a trapezoid are 10 m and 5 m, and the height is 4 m, what is the area?

Back

Area = (1/2) * (10 + 5) * 4 = 30 m².

Front

What is the total length of the bases in a trapezoid?

Back

The total length of the bases is the sum of the lengths of the two bases.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = Length * Width.

Front

If a rectangle has a length of 6 cm and a width of 4 cm, what is its area?

Back

Area = 6 cm * 4 cm = 24 cm².

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (1/2) * Base * Height.

Front

If a triangle has a base of 8 cm and a height of 5 cm, what is its area?

Back

Area = (1/2) * 8 cm * 5 cm = 20 cm².
