Multiply the length by the width for a square or rectangle.

For a rhombus or parallelogram times the base by the height.

For a trapezium Call the two parallel sides a and b and find their average, a+b divided by 2. This is the average of the horizontal lengths. Now multiply this by the height and you have the area!

How do you find the area of a quadrilateral(?

A quadrilateral has 4 sides but may not be symmetric. Bretschneider's formula provided a method using side lengths and two opposite angles. Any scalene quadrilateral can be divided into four triangles and the area is the sum of their areas. (see the related link below)
