Perimeters, Areas and Volumes in Geometry

 Area of a trapezoid

-The area of a trapezoid follows the Area-addition postulate.

-It is the sum of the area of two Triangles.

trapezoid1

A=\frac{1}{2}b_{1}h+\frac{1}{2}b_{2}h

A=\frac{1}{2}(b_{1}+b_{2})h

Area of Quadrilaterals with perpendicular diagonals d_{1} and d_{2}

A=\frac{1}{2}d_{1}d_{2}

Area of a Rhombus:

The Area of a Rhombus of diagonals have lengths d_{1} and d_{2}

A=\frac{1}{2}d_{1}d_{2}

rhombus2

Area of a Kite:

The Area of a Kite of diagonals have lengths d_{1} and d_{2}

A=\frac{1}{2}d_{1}d_{2}

THEOREM:

The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles equals the square of the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding sides:

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=(\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}})^{2}
