For a parallelogram, take the base times the height. For a trapezoid, take the smaller base and times it by the height.
Yes, certainly. The trapezoid area is one half sum of bases times height and the parallelogram area is base times height If the base of the parallelogram is equal to 1/2 the sum of he trapezoid bases, they have the same area
Square = parallelogram and a square trapezoid = trapezoid Parallelogram = Parallelogram
They both use perpendicular height and are in square units. Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
trapezoid
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
Yes, certainly. The trapezoid area is one half sum of bases times height and the parallelogram area is base times height If the base of the parallelogram is equal to 1/2 the sum of he trapezoid bases, they have the same area
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
Square = parallelogram and a square trapezoid = trapezoid Parallelogram = Parallelogram
They both use perpendicular height and are in square units. Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
A trapezoid is not a type of parallelogram. A parallelogram is a type of trapezoid.

No, a parallelogram is not always a trapezoid, but they are both four-sided quadrilaterals. A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides, and a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides.
A trapezoid is sometimes a parallelogram. If the trapezoid has two pairs of parallel sides, it will also be a parallelogram. However, if the trapezoid does not have two pairs of parallel sides, it will not be a parallelogram.
No, a parallelogram is not a trapezoid.
