Lets try something new

Earlier, you saw that you

But now there

What is wrong
with the base?

So we need to account
for the split base, by
calling the top base,
base 1, and the bottom
base, base 2. By
adding them together,
we get the original base
from the parallelogram.
The heights are the
same, so no problem
there.
