Area of Trapezoid Formula
The area of a trapezoid is calculated using a formula. The formula is presented as:
Area, A = ½ (a + b) h.
Where 'a' and 'b' denotes the bases of parallel sides, and 'h' represents the height between the perpendicular distance of the bases.
How to find area of Trapezoid?
If the bases of a trapezoid are 8 cm and 12 cm, and the height is 6 cm. How can you find the area of the trapezoid?
At first, you have to add (8+12)= 20. Then multiply by 6, and you will get 120 cm2 . Then divide by 2, and the result will be 60 cm2.
2. If the bases of a trapezoid are 7 cm and 11 cm, and the height is 10 cm. What is the area of the trapezoid?
At first, you have to add (7+11)= 18. Then multiply by 10, and you will get 180 cm2 . Then divide by 2, and the result will be 90 cm2.
3. If the bases of a trapezoid are 6 cm and 8 cm, and the height is 5 cm. How can you find the area of the trapezoid?
Add (6+8)= 14. Then multiply by 5, and you will get 70 cm2 . Then divide by 2, and the result will be 35 cm2.
