Area of Quadrilateral Worksheets
Welcome to our Area of Quadrilateral Worksheets page.
Here you will find a range of free printable area sheets, which will help your child to learn to find the areas of a range of different quadrilaterals including parallelograms, trapezoids (or trapeziums if you are in the UK), rectangles and kites.
These sheets are aimed at children of a 6th grade level and up.

Area of Quadrilaterals
On this webpage you will find our range of worksheets to help your child to work out the area of a range of triangles and quadrilaterals.
These sheets are graded from easiest to hardest, and each sheet comes complete with answers.
Using these sheets will help your child to:
- understand what area is;
- know how to find the area of a range of different quadrilaterals;
- Area is the amount of space that is inside a shape.
- Because it is an amount of space, it has to be measured in squares.
- If the shape is measured in cm, then the area would be measured in square cm or cm 2
- If the shape is measured in inches, then the area would be measured in square inches or in 2
Area of a Rectangle
- To find the area of a rectangle, you simply need to multiply the length by the width.
- Area of a rectangle = l x w, where l is the length and w is the width.
- In the example above, the area of the rectangle is 9 x 3 = 27 square cm or 27 cm 2
Area of a Parallelogram
- If you are measuring the area of a parallelogram, then the area will be equal to the base multiplied by the perpendicular height.
- Or Area of a parallelogram = base x (perpendicular) height
- In the example above, the area of the parallelogram is 8 x 6 = 48 square cm or 48 cm 2
Area of a Trapezoid (Trapezium UK)
- If you are measuring the area of a trapezoid (called a trapezium in the UK) then the area will be ½ x (length of the two parallel sides added together) x height
- Or Area of a trapezoid = ½ x (length1 + length2) x height
- In the example above, the area is ½ x (10 + 6) x 7 = 56 square m or 56 m 2
Area of a Kite
- If you are measuring the area of a kite, then you just need to multiply the lengths of the two diagonals.
- Area of a kite = ½ x p x q (where p and q are the lengths of the two diagonals)
- In the example above, the area is ½ x 7 x 4 = 14 square cm or 14 cm 2

Area of Trapezoids
Trapezoids are 4 sided shapes which have exactly one pair of parallel sides.
They are members of the quadrilateral family because they have 4 sides.

Area of Trapeziums (UK)
Trapeziums are 4 sided shapes which have exactly one pair of parallel sides.
They are members of the quadrilateral family because they have 4 sides.
A trapezium in the UK is the same as a US trapezoid.
