This worksheet will see your pupils find the area of the trapezia and working with the area of trapezia to solve problems.
There are five questions which will see learners: calculating the areas of three different trapezia in question 1, using areas to find a missing length and the height in questions 2 and 3, drawing trapezia with a specified area on square grids in question 4, spot, explain and correct an incorrect answer to a question in question 5 and using the perimeter of an isosceles trapezium to find the area in question 6.
Question 6 does bring some extra challenge as students are required to Pythagoras to find the height of the trapezium.
