44. Lets try something new with the parallelogram.

45. Lets try something new with the parallelogram. Earlier, you saw that you could use two trapezoids to make a parallelogram.

46. Lets try something new with the parallelogram. Earlier, you saw that you could use two trapezoids to make a parallelogram. Let s try to figure out the formula since we now know the area formula for a parallelogram.

47. Trapezoid Trapezoid

48. Trapezoid Trapezoid

49. Trapezoid Trapezoid So we see that we are dividing the parallelogram in half. What will that do to the formula?
