Area of a Trapezoid

Lesson Goals

Determine the area of a trapezoid.

Lesson Standards

6.GM.4
Find the area of complex shapes composed of polygons by composing or decomposing into simple shapes; apply this technique to solve real-world and other mathematical problems.

Mr. McCrory is plowing an area for his popcorn plants. The area measures

31\frac{1}{2}yds\ by\ 23\frac{1}{3}yds

What is the total are of the plot that he will use to grow his popcorn?

First make the mixed numbers into improper fractions
Divide down and multiply.

Multiple Choice

$31\frac{1}{2}\cdot23\frac{1}{3}$

What is this changed into improper fractions?

$\frac{31}{2}\cdot\frac{23}{3}$

$\frac{63}{2}\cdot\frac{70}{3}$

$\frac{34}{2}\cdot\frac{27}{3}$

Finding the area of a trapezoid

How would you find the area of this shape?
We will revisit this one later.

Trapezoid Area Formula

$A=\frac{1}{2}h\left(b_1+b_2\right)$ or
$A=\frac{h\left(b_1+b_2\right)}{2}$

Multiple Select

Which two measurements can be used as the base 1 and base 2 for this trapezoid?
