How Do We Find The Area of Parallelograms, Kites and Trapezoids?
Trapezoid
a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides
Area= (b1+b2)/2(h)
Kites
two pairs of consecutive congruent sides
Area= d1d2/2

Properties
Solids have properties such as:
-volume (think of how much water it could hold)
- surface area (thinks of the area you would have to paint)
Two types of solids, "polyhedral", and "non-polyhedral"
Polyhedra
They must have flat faces
Prism
Has the same cross section all along it's length
Pyramids
Non- Polyhedra
Any surface that isn't flat
examples:
Sphere
Torus
Cylinders
Cone
Cross sections
The shape you get when cutting straight across an object
Surface Area
Area of the bases + lateral area (area of the sides)

In the example above, the diagonals bisect the angles and they also bisect each other.
Rectangle
Parallelogram with four congruent angles or an "equiangular parallelogram."

The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent and they bisect each other.
Equilateral Rectangle
Equiangular rhombus

Diagonals are congruent, perpendicular and they bisect each other.
