    This beautiful powerpoint presentation shows plausibly why the areas of common geometric shapes are what they are. It is a pleasure to look at.

    The presentation suffers a bit because shapes are out of proportion visually - squares are not square, and rectangles divide into rectangular, not square units.

    The trapezoid diagram is particularly unhelpful. It does not show what it explains.

      Very nicely done! my only suggestion would be to have the pieces of the polygons which are shifted around be different colors. But a great presentation - thanks for sharing!
