Area of Special Quadrilaterals Practice

Answer 1

1. Find the area of a trapezoid with bases measuring 5 cm and 10 cm, and a height of 4 cm.

To find the area of a trapezoid, use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * (sum of bases) * height

Area = 1/2 * (5 cm + 10 cm) * 4 cm
Area = 1/2 * 15 cm * 4 cm
Area = 30 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 30 cm^2.

2. Calculate the area of a parallelogram with a base of 6 cm and a height of 8 cm.

To find the area of a parallelogram, use the formula:
Area = base * height

Area = 6 cm * 8 cm
Area = 48 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 48 cm^2.

3. Determine the area of a rhombus with diagonals measuring 10 cm and 6 cm.

To find the area of a rhombus, use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * (product of diagonals)

Area = 1/2 * (10 cm * 6 cm)
Area = 1/2 * 60 cm^2
Area = 30 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the rhombus is 30 cm^2.
