Hello everyone! Hope you've had yet another fantastic week! 

Today I counted the days left in my school year. There are 30 days including weekends! I am so excited for summer. As much as I have enjoyed my freshman year, I could use a break. Do you have any exciting summer plans? 

On Thursday we took a test in geometry class on the areas of shapes. Below I have listed the formulas for finding the areas of different shapes:

1. Area of a Parallelogram = base * height

2. Area of a Regular Polygon = 0.5 * apothem * perimeter 

3. Area of a Triangle = 0.5 * base * height

4. Area of a Trapezoid = 0.5 * (base 1 + base 2) * height

5. Area of a Rhombus/Kite = 0.5 * diagonal 1 * diagonal 2 

My favorite area formula is for the area of a parallelogram, because it is so easy to remember. What is your favorite? 

Well, so long for now! Good luck in the week ahead of you!
