Geometry - Area of Quadrilaterals
3 important questions on Geometry - Area of Quadrilaterals
For the special quadrilaterals, other than the square, what is the general formula to calculate the area?
Area = base * height
How does the Area formula for trapezoids, differ from that of the general formula?
With trapezoids, we can have 2 different bases (or bases of different lengths).
What are the 2 things you can do when a trapezoid has bases with different lengths and you have to calculate its area?
1) You can account for that by taking the average of the 2 bases.
2) Subdividing the trapezoid into a rectangle and 2 triangles.
