Y. Davis Geometry Notes Chapter 11
Postulate 11.1 Area Addition Postulate The area of a region is the sum of the areas of its non-overlapping parts
Area of a Parallelogram A=bh
Postulate 11.2 Area Congruence Postulate If 2 figures are congruent, then they have the same area.
Area of a Triangle A=½bh
Area of a Trapezoid A=½(b2+b1)h
Area of Rhombus or Kite A=½d1d2
Area of Circle A=πr²
Sector of a circle A region of a circle bounded by a central angle and its intercepted arc.
Area of Sectors
Center A Central Angle Radius Apothem
Central Angle The measure of a central angle is 360 divided by the number of sides
Area of Regular Polygon A=½aP
Composite Figures A figure that can be separated into regions that are basic figures.
Theorem 11.1 Area of similar polygons If 2 polygons are similar, then their areas are proportional to the square of the scale factor between them.
