Which formula for the area of a parallogram is similar to a rectangle circle triangle ellipse or trapezoid?
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
How is the formula for the area of a trapezoid related to the formula for the area for a triangle?
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 (b1 + b2)/h where b1 is the upper base of the trapezoid , b2 is the lower base of the trapezoid and h is the height of the trapezoid. Since a triangle has only one base , replace either b1 or b2 with zero. Thus the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh
How is the formula for the area of a trapezoid related to the formula for a area of a parallelogram?
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is a combination of the formulas for the areas of a triangle and a rectangle. It can be seen as two congruent triangles placed together to form a parallelogram. So, the formula for the area of a parallelogram is a generalization of the formula for the area of a trapezoid.
What is the formula of a triangle and a rectangle together?
A trectangle.
Can a trapezoid be divided into 2 equal halves?
Yes, but not of the same shape unless the trapezoid is isosceles. The solution requires calculating a slope and solving using the quadratic formula. It's not as simple as cutting a rectangle into 2 equal halves.
What is the formula of finding an area?
in finding the area if a square or rectangle multiply the length and width, for a triangle, multiply length and width divided by two.
How is the triangle formula derived from the area of rectangles?
The area of a triangle is expressed using the formula A=(1/2)(bh) Where A is area Where B is length of the base of the triangle. Where H is the height of the triangle. The area of a rectangle is A=BH, Where B is the length of the base of the rectangle. Where H is the height of the rectangle. Because a triangle, essentially, is a half of a rectangle, you find the area of the whole rectangle that the triangle comes from, then divide that in half.
What is the formula to find area?
the formula for the area of a square or rectangle is length times height the formula for the area of a circle is pi times radius squared the formula for the area of a triangle is half base times height the formula for the area of a trapezoid is 1/2(top + bottom) times height
Why is the formula for area of a triangle and area of a trapezoid are what they are?
area triangle = 1/2 base times height area trapezoid = 1/2 (sum of bases) times height
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 can you find the area of a composite figures trapezoid with a triangle?
A trapezoid has 2 inner triangles and so work out the area of each triangle then add them together. Alternatively use the formula for area of a trapezoid which is:- 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
What is the formula of an area of a rectangle?
an area of a triangle is the three sides comined
