Exploring Area Calculations of Trapezoids and Kites

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

• Base * Height

• 1/2 * Base * Height

• 1/2 * (Base + Height)

• Base + Height

What defines a trapezoid?

• A shape with four right angles

• A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides

• A shape with no parallel sides

• A quadrilateral with all sides equal

How can the area of a trapezoid be calculated using triangles and a rectangle?

• Multiplying the base by the height

• Dividing the area of the rectangle by two

• Sum of the areas of three shapes

• Sum of the areas of two triangles

What is the area of a rectangle with a base of 10 yards and height of 12 yards?

• 22 square yards

• 120 square yards

• 132 square yards

• 100 square yards

If a trapezoid's total base length is 18 yards, what could be a possible height?

• 12 yards

• 18 yards

• 6 yards

• 24 yards

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 4 inches and height of 5 inches?

• 10 square inches

• 20 square inches

• 40 square inches

• 9 square inches

How does the area calculation differ when the triangles within a trapezoid are of different sizes?

• The average area of the triangles is used

• It doesn't affect the calculation

• Each triangle is calculated separately

• Only the larger triangle is considered

What is the total area of two triangles each with a base of 30 cm and height of 10 cm?

• 450 square cm

• 600 square cm

• 150 square cm

• 300 square cm

• No, he needs exactly 300 cm²

• Yes, it's sufficient

• No, it's insufficient

• Yes, but barely
