This math topic focuses on calculating the area of trapezoids. Students practice applying the formula for a trapezoid's area which involves multiplying the height by the average length of the two bases. Multiple questions provide various trapezoid scenarios with specific dimensions, requiring students to compute the area in different units such as meters, feet, kilometers, and inches. Each question offers multiple answer choices in the form of expressions, enhancing students' understanding of area calculation in the context of complex shapes.
