OBJECTIVES We will be able to find the area and surface area of parallelograms, trapezoids and rectangular prism by using the formula.
FORMULAS 2 SA= 2 (lw+ hw +lh) Area of PARALLELOGRAM A= bh Area of TRAPEZOID A= (b1 + b2) h 2 Surface Area of a RECTANGULAR PRISM SA= 2 (lw+ hw +lh)
AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM The formula for area is A=bh where b is the base and h is the height. A= bh A=(17)(12)=204 ft2.
Area of Trapezoids
Trapezoids b2 h b1 Trapezoids have 2 bases. They are the parallel sides. The height is determined by forming a right angle from base 1 to base 2.
Finding the area of trapezoids Area = ½ h (b1 + b2) b2 10 cm. h 5 cm. 15 cm. b1 ½ 5 ( 15 + 10) ½ 5 ( 25) 2.5 ( 25) = 62.5 cm2
