Theorem 11.4: Area of a Trapezoid½ the product of the height (┴ distance

between its bases) and the sum of the bases

A = ½ h(b1 + b2)

Theorem 11.5: Area of a Rhombus½ the product of the lengths of the

diagonals

Theorem 11.6: Area of a Kite½ the product of the lengths of its

diagonals

Example: Find the area.

Example: The diagonals of the kite below are 14 inches and 6 inches. Find the area.
