1. Geometry 11.2 Big Idea: Compute Areas of Trapezoids, Rhombuses and Kites

2. Theorem 11.4: Area of a Trapezoid ½ the product of the height (┴ distance between its bases) and the sum of the bases A = ½ h(b 1 + b 2 )

3. Theorem 11.5: Area of a Rhombus ½ the product of the lengths of the diagonals

4. Theorem 11.6: Area of a Kite ½ the product of the lengths of its diagonals

5. Example: Find the area.

6. Example: The diagonals of the kite below are 14 inches and 6 inches. Find the area.

7. Example: Find the area.
