Sample questions
- A parallelogram has area s cm² and height h cm. Find its base length.
- A trapezoid has bases a cm and b cm and height h cm. Calculate its area.
- A parallelogram has base a cm and height h cm. Calculate its area.
- A trapezoid has bases a cm and b cm and area s cm². Find its height.
- A triangle has base a cm and corresponding height h cm. Calculate its area.
- A triangle has area s cm² and base a cm. Find the corresponding height.
- A triangle and a parallelogram each have base a cm and height h cm. Compare their areas.
- What does the height mean in the trapezoid area formula?
Area of triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids
A triangle has A = ah/2, a parallelogram A = ah and a trapezoid A = (a + b)h/2. The height must be perpendicular to the selected base.
Unknown dimensions
Rearrange the formula to find a base or height from a known area. In a trapezoid, a and b are the parallel sides only. Convert units before calculating and express area in square units.
