About This Worksheet

This medium-level worksheet contains 24 problems designed for 10th Grade students practicing area of polygons. Medium worksheets introduce larger numbers and varied question formats to deepen understanding and build fluency.

Area calculation is one of the most directly applicable skills in all of geometry. From flooring and painting to land surveying and architecture, the ability to compute areas of polygons is a practical competency used throughout engineering, construction, and design.

  • Calculate the area of triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and regular polygons
  • Apply the formula for the area of a regular polygon using the apothem
  • Solve composite-area problems by adding or subtracting simpler shapes
  • Derive the apothem length of a regular polygon using trigonometry or the Pythagorean Theorem
  • Convert between square units when area problems involve mixed measurements

How to Solve: Worked Example

Example Problem: Find the area of a trapezoid with bases 17 and 8 and height 10.
Solution Steps:
  1. Area = ½ × (b₁ + b₂) × h.
  2. = ½ × (17 + 8) × 10.
  3. = ½ × 25 × 10 = 125.
Answer: 125
Tip: This is the average of the bases times the height — a useful way to remember it.
