What is area?
Area is the measurement of a shape's insides. Different shapes have different shape measurements.There are many ways to finding the area of a shape.
If it is for a kite, the formula is (d1*d2)/2
"d" is the shape's diagonals. meaning the segments to the shape that are perpendicular to eachother.
Trapezoid: The trapezoid has two "bases" meaning two sides that are not congruent. You take both bases, the height and multiply them. The formula is (b1+b2)*h/2 Remember you have to divide by two at the end of it all.
Parallelograms are quadratic shapes that have similar sides but are not all congruent. The formula is simply b*h (Base times height). The height is never the slanted side!!
