Area of Kites & Rhombuses

[locvanthaiftu]

. I was born in a family in which my parents are famer who live in a rural area in my country, and my country doesn't speak English or teaching by English. However, thanks to the internet has bring so great information for me and i want to send a great thankful to you teacher Eddie for uploaded free lessons to help every students like me and other can access these knowledge and can understand easily.

I love how thorough this teacher is with his explaining, this is exactly what an audio learner needs.

I really appreciate how you cover the intuition behind various formulas before having your students use them. So much of what I have been taught over the years has been formula memorization, to which from watching your videos I can somewhat have an intuitive sense of the formulas. I think this allows for a deeper understanding of the math and actually makes it more enjoyable, so thank you very much for what you are doing!

bro this is so helpful, I'm studying rn and my notes were like dead because of quarantine.

Despite having learned this a few years ago, I still love the way he explains things!
Great video, and keep up the great work, you'll inspire many to pursue Math!

either my teacher in the 6th or the 7th grade skipped this, or i simply don't remember them, it's fun to try to come up with different ways to find the area and get to the same formulae, great video

''peculiar"? more like _perpendicular_

[TyrekeWilliams]

He is literally better than my math teacher

You could also say that y splits the kite/rhombus into two triangles with perpendicular heights of 1/2(x) - the area of each triangle would be 1/2[1/2(xy)], so the area of the kite/rhombus would be double that, or just 1/2(xy).

I think an interesting application here is that since a square is a type of rhombus, if you only know the length of the diagonal, you can use this formula directly to find the area, rather than having to use Pytharogas to find the side length and then square the side length.

[robgibbons]

Because a rhombus is also a special type of parallelogram, we should also be able to calculate area with the base times the perpendicular hight.

I would just turn them both 90 degrees and end up with a trapezium and a parallelogram, no?

Those students are in which class? Cuz, they look like 9th graders to me
