Mary Jane · Answer 1

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Triangle's Area = 1/2 bh/2

Trapezoid's area = 1/2 (b1 + b2) h

Parallelogram's area = bh

Rectangle's area = bh

Considering the formulas, we can conclude that:

a) The first choice is true, both formulas have 1/2 in.

b) The second choice is also true, both equations are the same

c) The third choice is incorrect

d) This choice is correct, the bases are added,

e) This choice is incorrect, the sides are not added.
