What are the steps to finding the area of a parallelogram? What are the steps to finding the area of an isosceles trapezoid

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the parallelogram, multiply the base of the perpendicular by its height. It should be noted that the base and the height of the parallelogram are perpendicular to each other, whereas the lateral side of the parallelogram is not perpendicular to the base.

The area of this parallelogram is its height (half-height of the trapezoid) times its base (sum of the bases of the trapezoid), so its area is half-height × (base1 + base2). Because the parallelogram is made from the same “stuff” as the trapezoid, that's the area of the trapezoid, too.

fabric (square meters)                   cloaks

7                                                           21

4/3                                                         4

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that harry needs 2 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes.

1. first of all we will find how many cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric by dividing 6 by 2.

we can see that 3 cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric. now we will multiply 3 by 7 to find number of cloaks made from 7 square meters of fabric.

therefore, harry will make 21 cloaks from 7 square meters of fabric.

2. let us find how many square meters of fabric will be needed to make 4 cloaks.

first of all we will find fabric needed for 1 cloak by dividing 2 by 6.

we can see that fabric needed for 1 cloak is   square meter. now we will multiply   by 4 to find fabric needed for 4 cloaks.
