Areas of Triangles, Trapezoids, and Rhombi•How do I find the areas of triangles?•How do I find the areas of trapezoids and
rhombi?
Area of a Triangle
•Area =
•Height is from a vertex, perpendicular to the opposite side.
•This opposite side is the base.
Triangle Example
•Find the area
Area of a Trapezoid
•Area =
•Height has the same rules as the triangle
Trapezoid Example
•Find the area
Area of a Rhombus
•Remember a rhombus has 4 equal sides
•We use diagonals to find the area
•Area =
Rhombus Example
•Find the area
Example
•Find the area of quadrilateral ABCD if AC = 35, BF = 18, and DE = 10.
Coordinate Plane Example
•Find the area of trapezoid RSTU with vertices R(4, 2), S(6, -1), T(-2, -1), and U(-1, 2).
Coordinate Plane Example
•Find the area of rhombus MNPR with vertices at M(0, 1), N(4, 2), P(3, -2), and R(-1, -3).
Example
•Rhombus RSTU has an area of 64 square inches. Find US if RT = 8 inches.
Example
•Trapezoid DEFG has an area of 120 square feet. Find the height of DEFG.
Your Turn1. Find the area of quadrilateral HIJK if IK = 16, HL = 5, and JM = 9.
2. Find the area of trapezoid WXYZ with vertices W(-3, 0), X(1, 0), Y(2, -3), and Z(-5, -3).
3. Trapezoid QRST has an area of 210 square yards. Find the height of QRST.
