Consider a trapezium divided into two triangles. How can you express the area of the trapezium using these triangles?

Area = Area of Triangle 1 + Area of Triangle 2

Area = 2 × Area of Triangle 1

Area = Area of Triangle 1 - Area of Triangle 2

Area = Area of Triangle 1 + Area of Triangle 2 - Height
