Answer: b. Area of a triangle.

Explanation:

a. The formula for calculate the area of a parallelogram is:


A_(p)=b*h

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

Then, with the given formula you can't find the area of a parallelogram.

b. The formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:


A_(tr)=(1)/(2)(b*h)

Where "b" is base and "h" is the height.

Then, with the given formula you can find the area of a triangle.

c. The formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid is:


A_(tp)=(h)/(2)(B+b)

Where "B" is the larger base ,"b" is the smaller base and "h" is the height.

Then, with the given formula you can't find the area of a trapezoid.

d. The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:


A_(r)=l*w

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, with the given formula you can't find the area of a rectangle.
