3/ Aim : How do we find the area of kites an trapezoids

How do we Find the Area of Kites and Trapezoids?

 Kites
- a kite has two pairs of equal sides that are both adjacent
- the formula to find the area of a kite goes by its diagonals  (d1+ d2 ) then you divide by 2

Example:

Example question:

 D1 = 6
D2 = 12
A= ?
















Trapezoids
- A trapezoid is a form of quadrilateril that has only one pair of parallel sides
- The formula you use to calculate the area is ( B1+ B2) divide by 2 then mutiply by the hieght of the trapezoid
Example:

Example question :
