Areas of Trapezoids, Rhombuses and Kites
Math 2 - Lesson 78Mr. Lopez
Area of Trapezoid
• The area of a trapezoid is half the product of the height and the sum of the bases.
• The bases are the parallel sides of the trapezoid.
• The height is an altitude from one base to the other.
• Area = ½(base1 + base2) x height
