Area of Irregular Polygons

Watch as Mr. Almeida explains how to find the area of irregular polygons. The key to finding the correct is to use your parallel lines as key pieces of information. Also, some shapes not always be composed of quadrilaterals, some may be made up of triangles. This will impact which formula you use. If it is a rectangle, then you will use A=lw, but if it is a triangle, you will use the formula A=1/2 x b x h.

is that concadination?? or concatenation?

[MathwithMrAlmeida]

@fiel95 Yes, it is!

What part do you not understand? Be specific. For example, say at 0:30, I do not get it.

Thanks, ZeylaBorn! I do teach this to my students as a math teacher for sixth graders. Take care.

great video but it would be a lot better if the camera werent moving all over the place. Also speed up the explanations just a tad. If we are watching the video im pretty sure we have the most basic geometry down already. Such as when you say "let me see if there is a line that is perpendicular, yes there is" Maybe just cut down on some unneeded chit chat. Just a tip for some constructive criticism.
