Area of a Trapezoid - Concept Intro - From Rectangle (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on introducing the concept of calculating the area of a trapezoid by simplifying it to the equivalent of a rectangle with an average length. It begins with a foundational understanding of area calculations before delving into specific problems where learners need to apply the formula for the area of a trapezoid. Multiple choice questions are provided, requiring students to select the correct area from a list of options based on given dimensions in various units such as feet, kilometers, and inches. This approach helps reinforce understanding through practical application.
