Area of Trapezoid (B) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
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 Trapezoid (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet will help your students find the area of trapezoids and work with the area of trapezoids to solve problems. There are five questions that will help learners: calculating the areas of three different trapezoids in question 1, use areas to find a missing length and the height in question 2 and 3, drawing trapezoids 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 trapezoid to find the area in question 6. Question 6 does bring some extra challenges as students are required to use the Pythangorean theorem to find the height of the trapezoids.
