How do we find the area of parallelograms, kites and trapezoids?

Aim: How do we find the area of parallelograms, kites and trapezoids?

Area of a Trapezoid is the 1st base + the 2nd base and then you divide by 2 and then times the height given in the trapezoid.
Formula: b1+b2/2*H 

Try it out:
1.  Base 1=14
Base 2=12
The Height=6






Area of a Kite is the first diagonal times the 2nd diagonol divided by 2.
Formula: d1*d2/2

Try it:
1. Diagonal 1=7
Diagonal 2= 16
