Calculate the area of each of the polygons with the following dimensions.

1. Triangles

    1. B = 4in, H = 5in
    1. B = 6ft, H= 10ft
    2. B = 12m, H = 15m
    3. Application: Sandy is making tablecloths in the shape of triangles. She needs to make two triangle tablecloths for one table. The triangles have base of 2 ft and a height of 4 ft. What is the total area of the triangle tablecloths for one table?

2. Parallelogram (H = height) and (B = base)

    1. H = 9in, B = 6in
    1. H = 5 ft, B = 2ft
    1. H = 7yds, B = 3yds
    2. Application: If a parallelogram has a base of 13 mm and an area of 78 mm2 what is the height?

Hint: Use the formula. Substitute the given values and then solve as an equation.

3. Rectangle (L = length) and (w = width)

    1. rect. DKIF with L = 8 ft and w = 6 ft
    1. rect. AOPU with L = 13 ft and w = 5 ft
    2. Application: Charles is paining the den. Two walls are 9 ft high and 15 ft long. The other two walls are 8 ft high and 10 ft long. Charles bought one gallon of paint that will cover 440 square feet of wall space. Does he have enough paint? Explain.

4. Rhombus ( d1Ā = diagonal 1) (d2Ā = diagonal 2)

    1. rhombus with d1Ā = 12 yds and d2Ā = 12 yds
    1. rhombus with d1Ā = 10 ft and d2Ā = 25 ft
    1. rhombus with d1Ā = 16 in and d2Ā = 22 in
    2. Application: a rhombus as an area of 72 ft and the product of the diagonals is 144. What is the length of each diagonal?

5. Trapezoid ( b1Ā = base 1) (b2Ā = base 2) (H = height)

    1. b1Ā = 6 ft, b2Ā = 7 ft, H = 10 ft
    1. b1Ā = 5 yds, b2Ā = 8 yds, H = 4 yds
    2. c. b1Ā = 9 in, b2Ā = 11 in, H = 13 in
    3. d. Application: The two bases of a trapezoid = 16 km and its area = 32 km2. What is its height?

Hint: Use the formula. Substitute the given values and then solve as an equation.
