The area of a parallelogram follows the following formula


A=bh

Where b = 9cm and h = 7cm.


A=9\operatorname{cm}*7\operatorname{cm}=63(cm)^2

The area of the parallelogram is 63 square centimeters.

The area of a triangle is


A=(bh)/(2)

Where b = 10cm and h = 6.8 cm.


A=\frac{10\operatorname{cm}*6.8\operatorname{cm}}{2}=34(cm)^2_{}

The area of the triangle is 34 square centimeters.

The area of a trapezoid is


A=((B+b)h)/(2)

Where B = 15cm, b = 13cm, and h = 6cm.


A=\frac{(15\operatorname{cm}+13\operatorname{cm})6\operatorname{cm}}{2}=84(cm)^2

The area of the trapezoid is 84 square centimeters.
