For a parallelogram, take the base times the height. For a trapezoid, take the smaller base and times it by the height.
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height

A formula is needed to find the area of a parallelogram. It is a very simple formula which notates Area = base x height.
The area of parallelogram is 420cm2 and the height is 35cm. Find the corresponding base.
For a parallelogram, take the base times the height. For a trapezoid, take the smaller base and times it by the height.
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
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
what trapezoid
The formula to find the surface area of a parallelogram is Base*Height.
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height
BASExHIEGHT=AREA
To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height.
answer
A formula is needed to find the area of a parallelogram. It is a very simple formula which notates Area = base x height.
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
