Introductionm46730f9cbd44bdc8_1528450127855_0Introduction

Revision of the definition of the trapeziumtrapeziumtrapezium and its altitudealtitudealtitude.

The trapezium is a quadrangle with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Each segment whose ends belong to the straight lines belonging to the bases and are perpendicular to them is called the altitudealtitudealtitude of the trapezium.

The teacher introduces the topic of the lesson: learning to calculate the areaareaarea of the trapeziumtrapeziumtrapezium and the relevant formula.

Before the lesson the student cuts out six figures (two identical isosceles trapeziums, two identical right ones and any two trapeziums) and brings them to class.

Procedurem46730f9cbd44bdc8_1528446435040_0Procedure

Student use two identical isosceles trapeziums to make the parallelogram.

Task:

Using two congruent isosceles trapeziums make a parallelogramparallelogramparallelogram and then answer the question.

How can you calculate the area of the figurefigurefigure you have made?

Calculate the areaareaarea of the parallelogramparallelogramparallelogram you have made.

Now, put the trapeziums apart to get two figures. How large do you think is the area of one trapeziumtrapeziumtrapezium?

We do the same with other trapeziums you have prepared and other selected trapeziums.

Using the applet the students watch how the formula for calculating the areaareaarea of the trapezium is arrived at.

Task:

Open the applet and moving the red point look at how the formula for calculating the area of the trapeziumtrapeziumtrapezium is arrived at.

[Geogebra applet]

The students and the teacher draw the following conclusion:

The area of the trapezium is half the product of the sum of its bases and the altitude.m46730f9cbd44bdc8_1527752263647_0The area of the trapezium is half the product of the sum of its bases and the altitude.

[Illustration 1]

The students calculate the areaareaarea of the trapezium knowing the sum of the lengths of its bases and the length of the altitude.

Task:

Think how we can calculate the area of the trapeziumtrapeziumtrapezium if we know that the sum of the length its bases is 11 cm, and the altitudealtitudealtitude is 7 cm.

Students calculate the area of the trapezium using the dimensions shown in the figurefigurefigure.

[Illustration 2]

An extra task:

An isosceles trapeziumisosceles trapeziumisosceles trapezium has one basebasebase of 20 cm and the other is 6 cm shorter and twice as long as the altitudealtitudealtitude of the trapezium. Calculate the area of the trapeziumtrapeziumtrapezium.

Lesson summarym46730f9cbd44bdc8_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

Students complete the summary exercises.

Then they summarise the lesson, drawing conclusions to be memorised:

The area of the trapeziumtrapeziumtrapezium is half the product of the sum of its bases and the altitudealtitudealtitude drawn to them.

The areaareaarea of the right trapezium is half the product of the sum of its bases and the arm perpendicularperpendicularperpendicular to them.

The students exchange their opinions about what they have learned during the lesson.
