How to Calculate the Areas of Triangles and Quadrilaterals
The area of a triangle is half the base times the height. For a quadrilateral, split it into triangles or use the formula for its type, since a trapezoid, parallelogram, and rhombus each have their own shortcut.
Type the problems from this lesson and check each step.
