To find the area of a trapezoid using the area of a corresponding parallelogram, you can draw a line parallel to one of the bases of the trapezoid that extends to form a parallelogram. The area of the parallelogram is calculated using the formula (A = \text{base} \times \text{height}). Since the trapezoid shares the same height and one pair of parallel sides with the parallelogram, you can find the area of the trapezoid by subtracting the area of the triangular sections outside the trapezoid from the area of the parallelogram. This approach effectively utilizes the relationship between the two shapes to derive the trapezoid's area.
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"
