The height of a trapezoid is 5 in.
The base measures 16 in. and 18 in.
Find the area of the trapezoid.
The length of the base of a parallelogram
is 6 ½ in. and the height is 10 ¼ in. Find
the area of the parallelogram.

Circles: Circumference & Area
The diameter, which goes through the center of the circle, is twice the length of the radius.
Circumference is the distance around the “edge” of the circle. C = 2πr
Circumference is very similar to perimeter.
Area is all the “space” inside the circle.
A = π r2
π is a Greek letter pronounced as pie, and is an irrational number (there is no end to the
numbers behind the decimal and no pattern to those numbers).
