When solving the area to a figure like parallelograms, kites,and trapezoids, each one of those shapes has their own formula.
Area of a Parallelogram:
Area of a Kite:
Area of a Trapezoid:
Example #1
Parallelogram Area = B x H
Area = 12 x 5
Area = 60 cm ²
Example #2
Kite Area = ½ d1d2
Area= ½ ( 8 x 6)
Area= ½ (48)
Area = 24 cm ²
Example #3
Trapezoid Area = ½ h( b1 +b2 )
Area = ½ 5(10 + 14)
Area = ½ (120)
Area = 60in²
