Question

Give the formula for the area of the following shapes. .

Rectangle where L is the length and W is the width.
Trapezoid where H is height of the trapezoid and b1 and b2 represent the lengths of the base.
Parallelogram where B is the length of the base and H is the height. ...
help please

Answer 1

Let's go shape by shape!

The area of a rectangle can be calculated as follows:


`L * W = area` where L = length and W = width

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated as follows:


`(( b_(1) + b_(2))*H)/(2) = area`
where b1 and b2 = lengths of the base and H = height of the shape

The area of a parallelogram can be calculated as follows:


`B * H = area` where B = length of the base and H = height of the shape
