Area of Quadrilaterals (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Practice finding the area of trapezia, kites and arrowheads with this, our second worksheet on the area of quadrilaterals.
Section A focuses on trapezia. We would encourage students to use the formula for area of a trapezium here. Learners must decide which side lengths to use and which to ignore in their calculations.
Find the area of kites and a compound shape in the following section. Teachers and parents could leave it for pupils to problem-solve a method for this themselves.
A two-question extension asks learners to find the area of two arrowhead shapes.
Ensure students use appropriate units throughout.
