Areas of Trapezoids, Rhombi and Kites Chapter 11 Section 2
Area Formulas
Area of a Trapezoid leg b 1 = base 1 b 2 = base 2 h = height Height – the perpendicular distance between the 2 bases. A = ½ h(b 1 + b 2 ) Area of trapezoid Height base
Example 1
Area of a Kite or Rhombus Rhombus › 4 equal sides. › Diagonals bisect each other. › Diagonals are perpendicular. Kite › Adjacent sides are congruent › No sides //. › Diagonals are perpendicular A = ½ d 1 d 2 Area of Kites or Rhombi Diagonal One Diagonal Two
