CCSS: 6.G.A.1
CCSS Description: Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Area of Quadrilaterals (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Practice finding the area of trapezoids, kites, and arrowheads with this our second worksheet on the area of quadrilaterals.
Section A focuses on trapezoids, we would encourage students to use the formula for area of a trapezoid here. Learners must decide with side lengths to use and which to ignore in their calculations.
Find the area of kites and a compound shapes in the following section. Teachers and parents could leave it for students 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.
