Unit 2 Parent Guide: Area of Polygons Unit 2 Key b = base h = height (perpendicular to base b₁ = base 1 of a trapezoid b₂ = base 2 of a trapezoid Vocabulary Perimeter (P): The distance around a figure (add all sides). Area (A): The amount of surface covered or enclosed by a figure. Trapezoid: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. Complex Figure: A figure made by combining simple geometric figures. 2-1: Perimeter and Area of Rectangles A = lw or A = bh w P = add all sides P=2+6+2+6 P = 16 in h l Example 1: Find the perimeter and area of the rectangle.

Plot these points on the coordinate plane: A(2,2) B(2, 10). Plot point C to make a right triangle with base AC measuring 6 units long. What ordered pair locates point C? C(8,2) B. Draw line segments to form triangle ABC. Segment BC measures 10 units. Find the perimeter and area of triangle ABC. a. To find the i. Count plane, or length of the missing sides: the units on the coordinate ii. Use the ordered pairs (x,y). If the x-values are the same, subtract the y-values. If the y-values are the same, subtract the x-values. AB: A(2,2) B(2,10) x-values are the same subtract the y-values (10 – 2 = 8 units) AC: A(2,2) C(8,2) y-values are the same subtract the y-values (8 – 2 = 6 units) b. Now find the perimeter and area of the triangle. 𝑏ℎ P = add all sides A= 2 P = 8 + 6 + 10 = 24 units A= 6 ∙8 2 = 48 2 = 24 units² Remember to keep this study guide all year to help with studying for assessments and end of year tests.
