Lesson 11-2 Day 2 Area of Trapezoids and Rhombi
Area of Trapezoids & Rhombi Trapezoid Area A = ½* h* (b 1 + b 2 ) h is height (altitude) b 1 and b 2 are bases (JK & LM) (bases are parallel sides) Rhombus Area A = ½ * d 1 * d 2 d 1 and d 2 are diagonals A B C D h b1b1 b2b2 JK LM N d1d1 d2d2
Example 1 h JK L M N 60° 14 Find the area of trapezoid JKLM
