In the formula for the rectangle, put the width equal to the length.
the formula for a parllelogram AKA Square and rectangle, is L*W
A square would have the same formula for area as a rectangle: Area = length x width. Both figures have four right angles.
of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"
Squares are rectangles so the formula for area will stay the same.
In the formula for the rectangle, put the width equal to the length.
The formula for the area of a square is simply L2 (sometimes referred to as s2 ) where L (s) is the length of one side. The formula for the area of a rectangle is LW, where L is the length and W is the width. The formula for the area of a rectangle can be used to find the area of a square, but the formula for the area of a square cannot be used to find the area of a rectangle. This is because by definition, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
The area of a rectangle is length times width, expressed in square units.
area or square and rectangle.
length*width = area and measured in square units
Area in square units = base*height

Base times height in square units.
it is the formula for both a rectangle and a square. remember a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square (what i mean is a square has to have all 90 degree angles and four sides that are all the same length a rectangle doesn't have all the same lengths. but a rectangle is a shape with all 90 degree angles, and a square fits that discription)
The area formula for the parallelogram is related to the area formula for a rectangle because you can make the parallelogram into a rectangle to find the area.
