Earlier, you saw that you could use two
trapezoids to make a parallelogram.

Lets try to figure out the formula since we now
know the area formula for a parallelogram.

in half. What will that do to the formula?

- What is wrong with the base?

53Trapezoid
So we need to account for the split base, by
calling the top base, base 1, and the bottom
base, base 2. By adding them together, we get
the original base from the parallelogram. The
heights are the same, so no problem there.
