Explain in your own words how knowing the formula for the area of a parallelogram is useful for figuring out the area of a trapezoid. please help, thank you!

answer - hey, if your looking for the answer to this question, i figured it out! You can put two identical trapezoids together to form a parallelogram with the same height as the trapezoid and a base length equal to the sum of the base lengths of the trapezoid. The area of the parallelogram is (b1 + b2)h, so the area of the trapezoid is one-half of this area. (let me know if this is correct of helpful)
