Trapezoids,Rhombi,and Kites
LearningObjectives
- Understandthe relationshipsbetweenthe areasof two categoriesof quadrilaterals:basicquadrilaterals
(rectanglesand parallelograms),and specialquadrilaterals(trapezoids,rhombi,and kites). - Derivearea formulasfor trapezoids,rhombi,and kites.
- Applythe area formulasfor thesespecialquadrilaterals.
Introduction
We’ll use the areaformulasfor basicshapesto workup to the formulasfor specialquadrilaterals.It’s an
easyjob to converta trapezoidto a parallelogram.It’s also easyto take aparta rhombusor kite and rebuild
