Because a square has equal sides and a trapezoid doesn't, but at the same time they can have the same total but use different factors.

Can a square and a trapezoid ever have the same area and why?
Yes because if you square root the area of a trapezoid that will give you the side of a square
Can a square and a trapezoid have the same area?
Yes
Can a square and a trapizoid ever have the same area?
Yes. For example, if the square's side length was 10, the area would be 100. If the trapezoid's two base lengths were 5 and 20, and the height was 8, the area would be 100.
Is a trapezoid the same as a square?
No.
How can a trapezoid and a square have the same area?
-- You can make a square have any area you want it to, by making its sideslonger or shorter. You just have to keep all the sides the same length andone of its angles 90 degrees, otherwise you won't have a square any more.-- You can make a trapezoid have any area you want it to, by making its sideslonger or shorter. You just have to keep one pair of sides parallel, otherwiseyou won't have a trapezoid any more.-- Since you can make a square with any area you want, and you can make atrapezoid with any area you want, there's no reason why you can't make oneof each, that both have the same area.-- And while you're at it, you could also make a circle that has the same areaas the square and the trapezoid.
Can a square and a trapazoid ever the same area?
Yes.
What figure always has the same line of symmetry a square or a trapezoid?
A square.
Can a trapezoid and parallelogram have the same area?
Yes, certainly. The trapezoid area is one half sum of bases times height and the parallelogram area is base times height If the base of the parallelogram is equal to 1/2 the sum of he trapezoid bases, they have the same area
Why the formula to find the area of a parallelogram is the same as the formula to find the area of a rectangle?
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
How is a trapezoid and a square the same?
They are both polygons, they are both quadrilaterals, etc.
How do you make a trapezoid out of a square and triangle?
It is a square with a right angle triangle attached to it having the same height as the square.
What is the area of a upside down trapezoid?
The area of an upside down trapezoid is the same as the area of a right side up or sideways trapezoid. Area = 1/2 * height * (upperbase + lowerbase) OR Area = 1/2 * height * (sum of the length of the two parallel lines)
