Area of Quadrilaterals (B) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 8, Year 9
GCSE Tier: Foundation
Targeting grades: 1-3
Prerequisite knowledge: Formulae for area of trapezia. Area of triangles.
Learning Objective: Find the area of trapezia, kites and arrow head shapes

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.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should be confident with formulae for area of trapezia and calculating the area of triangles before tackling this resource. These foundational skills are essential as pupils will need to apply the trapezium formula directly in Section A, whilst their understanding of triangle areas will help them work out methods for finding the areas of kites and arrowhead shapes in the later sections.
