Area of Shapes Continued Calculate the area of the following shapes:
Recap……….. Recap area of Rectangle A= BxH Calculating Area of a Triangle: A=BXH 2
A shape with all set of sides being parallel Parallelograms What are they??? A shape with all set of sides being parallel Height (h) Base (b) Area of a Parallelogram Is the same as a: Rectangle Base x Height A= b x h= bh Height (h) Base (b)
Trapezium Trapezium is a shape with only one Parallel side a Height (h) b
Trapezium Continued Two equivalent trapezium fit together to form a parallelogram a b h 1 2 b a Area of a trapezium= A=1x (a+b) x h = 1 (a+b)h= (a + b)h 2 2 2
