Area of Quadrilaterals

On this webpage you will find our range of worksheets to help your child to work out the area of a range of triangles and quadrilaterals.

These sheets are graded from easiest to hardest, and each sheet comes complete with answers.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

understand what area is;
know how to find the area of a range of different quadrilaterals;

What is Area?

Area is the amount of space that is inside a shape.
Because it is an amount of space, it has to be measured in squares.
If the shape is measured in cm, then the area would be measured in square cm or cm²
If the shape is measured in inches, then the area would be measured in square inches or in²

Area of a Rectangle

$area of rectangle image 2$

To find the area of a rectangle, you simply need to multiply the length by the width.
Area of a rectangle = l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.

$area of rectangle example$

In the example above, the area of the rectangle is 9 x 3 = 27 square cm or 27 cm²

Area of a Parallelogram

If you are measuring the area of a parallelogram, then the area will be equal to the base multiplied by the perpendicular height.
Or Area of a parallelogram = base x (perpendicular) height

Example

$example parallelogram 1$

In the example above, the area of the parallelogram is 8 x 6 = 48 square cm or 48 cm²

Area of a Trapezoid (Trapezium UK)

$example trapezoid 2$

If you are measuring the area of a trapezoid (called a trapezium in the UK) then the area will be ½ x (length of the two parallel sides added together) x height
Or Area of a trapezoid = ½ x (length1 + length2) x height

Example

$example trapezoid 1$

In the example above, the area is ½ x (10 + 6) x 7 = 56 square m or 56 m²

Area of a Kite

$area of kite image$

If you are measuring the area of a kite, then you just need to multiply the lengths of the two diagonals.
Area of a kite = ½ x p x q (where p and q are the lengths of the two diagonals)

Example

$area of kite example 1$

In the example above, the area is ½ x 7 x 4 = 14 square cm or 14 cm²

Area of Trapezoids

Trapezoids are 4 sided shapes which have exactly one pair of parallel sides.

They are members of the quadrilateral family because they have 4 sides.

Area of Trapeziums (UK)

Trapeziums are 4 sided shapes which have exactly one pair of parallel sides.

They are members of the quadrilateral family because they have 4 sides.

A trapezium in the UK is the same as a US trapezoid.
