Solutions for Area of Rectangles Parallelograms Trapezoids & Triangles

T.i.P.S.

Students will be calculating the area or volume of certain figures using area formulas and the volume formula that involve positive rational numbers. This means that the dimensions can include whole numbers, decimals, and fractions, but ONLY positive values.

Example

Look at the figure shown below. What is the area of the trapezoid?
