Presentation Transcript

1. Objectives: 1) To find the area of a trapezoid, rhombus or a kite

2. The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distances h between the bases. A = 1/2h(b +b )

3. Example: Find Area A car window is shaped like a trapezoid shown. Find the area of the window.

4. Theorem: Area of a Rhombus or a Kite The area of a rhombus or a kite is half the product of the lengths of its diagonals. A = 1/2d d

5. Example: Finding the Area of a Kite Find the area of kite ABCD.

6. Example: Find the Area of a Rhombus Remember the properties of a rhombus!! Find the area of rhombus EFGH.
