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:

$\frac{( b_{1} + b_{2})*H}{2} = area$
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
