Family practice

The average base is the length of a rectangle with the same area.

Optional until a teacher marks it

Bases 8 and 4, height 5.

A trapezoid’s area uses the mean of the two bases times the height. Multiplying all three measurements counts a different solid-looking product, not the area.

Problem 1 of 8. What we learned, an example, a few together, then independent practice.

A trapezoid has bases 8 and 4 and height 6. What is its area?
