Area of a triangle and trapezoid

write down the formulas

Notice anything about the triangles?

Triangles are just rectangles cut in half

Area of a triangle

* multiply the base x height and then divide by 2

Triangle Example

$A\ =\ \frac{6\ \times\ 18}{2}$

$A\ =\ \frac{108}{2}=\ 54$

Multiple Choice

What is the area?

12 cm²

14 cm²

24 cm²

Find the missing side

1. take the area and multiply it by 2

2. divide by the other side

Solve for x

The area is 42cm2
- multiply the area by 2 (42 x 2 = 84)
- divide by the base (84 $\div$ 12 = 7)

The height of the triangle is 7cm

Multiple Choice

To find the area of a triangle, simply multiply the base and the height.

True

False

Area of a trapezoid

A = $\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}h$

Trapezoid Example

$A=\ \frac{11}{2}\ 5$

A\ =\ 5.5\ x\ 5\ =\ 27.5ft^2
