  1. 1. Area of a parallelogram is:
    • (a) ½ × b × h
    • (b) b × h
    • (c) (a + b) × h
    • (d) d₁ × d₂
  2. 2. Area of a triangle with base 10 and height 4 is:
    • (a) 40
    • (b) 14
    • (c) 20
    • (d) 24
  3. 3. The area of a trapezium is:
    • (a) ½ × (a + b) × h
    • (b) (a + b) × h
    • (c) a × b
    • (d) ½ × a × b
  4. 4. A rhombus with diagonals 8 and 6 has area:
    • (a) 48
    • (b) 24
    • (c) 14
    • (d) 28
  5. 5. Write the formula for the area of a trapezium.

  1. 1. (b) b × hParallelogram area = base × height.
  2. 2. (c) 20½ × 10 × 4 = 20.
  3. 3. (a) ½ × (a + b) × hAverage of parallel sides × height.
  4. 4. (b) 24½ × 8 × 6 = 24.
  5. 5. Area = ½ × (sum of parallel sides) × height = ½ × (a + b) × h.
  6. 6. Area = ½ × d₁ × d₂, half the product of the diagonals.
  7. 7. Draw a diagonal of the trapezium; it divides the shape into two triangles with the same height h (the distance between the parallel sides). One triangle has base a and the other base b, so the total area = ½×a×h + ½×b×h = ½×(a + b)×h. This is the trapezium area formula.
