B-dub's Scribe Post: Finding Areas of Polygons

Greetings earthlings...and others (I believe in other beings). This is B-dub Dizzle at your serrr-vice! So, Friday we took a Daily Quiz on the five formulas to find the area of five polygons. If you saw the scribe post from the night before you should have done well on the quiz. Catherine listed all the formulas neccessary to know for these polygons on thursday night. If you didn't see them or feel too lazy too scroll down, I GOT YOU SON!

-Area of Square: A=S^2
-Area of a Rectangle: A=LW
-Area of a Parallelogram: A=bh
-Area of a Triangle: A=1/2 bh
-Area of a Trapezoid: A= 1/2h (b +b)

In the words of my sidekick Catherine, "I just gave you guys gold". So, after the Daily Quiz we got to have some fun with math. We used those formulas and Google Earth to help us find the areas of our yards, our favorite football field, the Pentagon, and a state in America.
