Calculating Areas of Geometric Shapes
Explore the concept of finding the area of trapezoids, rhombuses, kites, and regular polygons using visual aids and explanations. Learn about the measurements needed, such as base, height, apothem, and more, to determine the area accurately. Practice calculating areas of various polygons like decagons, octagons, and hexagons to strengthen your geometric skills.

Presentation Transcript
10.2: Area of Trapezoids, Rhombuses, and Kites
What is the approximate area of Nevada?
Where the height is the perpendicular distance between the bases
What is the area of this rhombus?
10.3: Area of Regular Polygons
If you circumscribe a circle around a polygon, the radius of the polygon is the distance from the center to a vertex, and the apothem is the perpendicular distance from the center to a side
The red line is an apothem what are the angle measures shown?
What does it mean for two shapes to be congruent? What are the areas of these trapezoids?
