This math topic focuses on calculating the area of a trapezoid. Students practice finding the area by using the formula which involves multiplying the height of the trapezoid by the average length of its two bases. The worksheet includes multiple questions where students need to apply this method to solve problems. Each question provides a diagram of a trapezoid with labeled dimensions and asks for the area, offering multiple-choice answers in various units like inches, centimeters, feet, and kilometers. This topic is part of a broader introduction to understanding areas of different geometric shapes.
