No, this is not a trapezoid. A trapezoid is this:|dw:1349149118830:dw| It's like a triangle with its tip cut off.

@RuSSian1909 @Lunalovegood Hey! You reading this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now what do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have base and height?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area equalls length times width. and perimeter is add all the sides up. parallogram.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area of a parallelogram is the base times the height.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im guessing base is 7 and height is 6...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. so 7 times 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1349149446675:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Height should be a straight line up... the diagonal line is NOT the height.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 8 times 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the 6 is the straight line. cuz 8 is slanted
