1. Area of Shapes Continued
Calculate the area of the following shapes:

2. Recap……….. Recap area of Rectangle A= BxH
Calculating Area of a Triangle:
A=BXH 2

3. 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)

4. Trapezium Trapezium is a shape with only one Parallel side a
Height (h) b

5. 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
