A parallelogram is a degenerate trapezoid: as the longer of the parallel sides of a trapezoid shrinks to the length of the shorter parallel side, the trapezoid becomes a parallelogram.
It is truer to say that the area of a trapezoid helps to find the area of a parallelogram:
area_trapezoid = mean_average_of_parallel_sides x distance_between_them
= 1/2 sum_parallel_side_lengths x distance_between_them
When the parallel sides are of equal length this becomes:
area = (1/2 x 2 x length_of_parallel_sides) x distance_between_them
= length_of_parallel_sides x distance_between_them
= area_parallelogram

How do you find the value of x in an Isosceles trapezoid?
It depends on what x represents, and what information you have about the trapezoid.
Which is the area of trapezoid EFGH?
Its area in square units = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
How do you find the area of a square?
Length times Height equals Area. You can do this, but you can find the area by using the formula "S2" (ex. 12= 1 x 1) The other formula which is only for squares:Area = 6 (Length x Width) or Area= 6(LxW)Glad I could help! :DEdit: A square has all sides equal. The formula for the area is given byarea of square = side2side times side
How can I find care homes in my area?
Usually health center are care homes so i would look in the yellowpages for health center or nursing homes. Then ask the person you talk to to help you along.
How do you find the area of a house?
