Area Formulas and Applications

This video tutorial by Kalei teaches how to find the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. It begins with a review of the area formula for rectangles, then explains how to adapt this formula for parallelograms by considering the height. The tutorial also covers the area of trapezoids by transforming them into parallelograms and deriving a specific formula. The video concludes with a summary and encourages viewers to practice through online games and quizzes.

What is the formula for finding the area of a rectangle?

• Length minus width

• Length divided by width

• Length times width

• Length plus width

Why can't we use the same formula for the area of a parallelogram as for a rectangle?

• Parallelograms have angled sides

• Parallelograms are 3D shapes

• Parallelograms have curved sides

• Parallelograms have no sides

How do you determine the height of a parallelogram on a grid?
