    Find the area of these trapezoids by splitting them up into rectangles and
    triangles. They are not drawn to scale.

    Example 6cm
    Area = area of rectangle + area of triangle
    3cm Area = 6 x 3 + ½ x 2 x 3 = 18 + 3 = 21cm2

    8cm

    4cm 12cm
    1) 2)
    5cm 3cm

    10cm 8cm

    Area = _______ cm2 Area = _______ cm2

    3) 8cm 4) 7cm

    5cm 4cm

    9cm
    6cm
    Area = _______ cm2 Area = _______ cm2
    Handy hint:
    The formula for the area of a trapezoid is
    ½ x (length1 + length2) x height
