Area: Parallelogram, Triangle, Trapezoid, Kite, Composite Shape

Front

What is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

Back

Area = base × height

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 × base × height

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = 1/2 × (base1 + base2) × height

Front

What is the formula for the area of a kite?

Back

Area = 1/2 × (diagonal1 × diagonal2)

Front

What is a composite shape?

Back

A shape made up of two or more simple shapes.

Front

How do you find the area of a composite shape?

Back

Calculate the area of each simple shape and then sum them up.

Front

What is the base and height of a triangle?

Back

The base is one side of the triangle, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

Front

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

Back

Area = 1/2 × 5 cm × 5 cm = 12.5 cm²

Front

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 8 ft and a height of 6 ft?

Back

Area = 8 ft × 6 ft = 48 ft²

Front

What is the area of a trapezoid with bases of 10 cm and 6 cm, and a height of 4 cm?

Back

Area = 1/2 × (10 cm + 6 cm) × 4 cm = 32 cm²
