Don't Forget To Divide by Two!: Base 12 In. Height 5 In. Base 1 Height 3

This geometry worksheet contains problems about finding the areas of triangles, trapezoids, rectangles, and composite figures made of those shapes. Students are given dimensions of the figures and asked to use area formulas to calculate missing lengths, convert between units, and determine total or shaded regions. Pythagorean theorem is used in some problems to find missing sides before calculating areas.
