usually in a quadrilateral (four-sided shape) you multiply the height by width
In a triangle, the height by width then divide by 2. This is because a triangle is mathematically always half the area of the rectangle.
In a trapezium or trapezoid in some countries, its the top length added to the bottom length which is then divided by two multiplied by the length top to bottom. But always remember the height you multiply it with is the straight top to bottom length not the side length.

What is the formula to calculate area of an object?
A=lw or a different formula depending on the object
Calculate surface area of round flat object?
A flat round object is a circle. Surface area of a circle = pi*radius squared.
What is the equation area lenght times width used for to calculate the area of a square or rectangle or any kind of object?
how haout no
How do you calculate area for irregular objects?
By integration, which basically means dividing the object into small pieces.
How do you calculate square cm?
To calculate the area in square centimeters of a two-dimensional object, you multiply the length and width of the object in centimeters. The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle or square in square centimeters is length (cm) x width (cm). For more complex shapes, you can break them down into simpler shapes and calculate the area of each part separately before adding them together to find the total area in square centimeters.
