What this Finding the Area of Flat Shapes quiz checks

  • Parallelogram area is base times perpendicular height: A = bh.
  • A triangle is half of a parallelogram with the same base and height: A = ½bh.
  • A trapezoid uses the average of its two parallel sides: A = ½(b₁ + b₂)h.
  • A composite polygon is split into simple shapes whose areas are added or subtracted.
  • Area is measured in square units such as square feet or square meters.
