rectangle
It is base times perpendicular height.
Base times height. Just like a rectangle.
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same formula for area:The area of a parallelogram is given:area = length × widthwhere:length is the length of one of the sides of the parallelogram; andwidth is the perpendicular distance between the side chosen for the length and its parallel side.In the formula for the area of a rectangle, the width (perpendicular distance between the sides given for the length) is also the length of the other two sides.
