7-4 Areas of Trapezoids, Rhombuses and KitesM11.C.1 Objectives: To find the area of a trapezoid, rhombus or a kite
The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distances h between the bases. • A = 1/2h(b₁ +b₂)
Example: Find Area • A car window is shaped like a trapezoid shown. Find the area of the window.
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 = 1/2d₁d₂
Example: Finding the Area of a Kite • Find the area of kite ABCD.
Example: Find the Area of a Rhombus • Remember the properties of a rhombus!! • Find the area of rhombusEFGH.
