Question 4 • FL-1205040-M/J Grade 7 Mathematics B -GF
A triangle’s area is base × height ÷ 2, and a parallelogram’s area is base × height, so both formulas require multiplying the base by the height. A rectangle and parallelogram with the same base and height each have area base × height, so their areas match. A triangle with those measurements has half the parallelogram’s area, and a trapezoid’s formula uses the sum of its parallel bases, not their product.
