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"
