Area of trapezoid: 0.5*(5+3)*3 = 12 square cm
Let the second base be x: 0.5*(first base+x)*height = area x = (2*area/height) - first base
The height of the trapezoid is also needed to find its area which is as follows:- Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of bases or parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel side)*height
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*( sum of parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
The area of a trapezoid is equal to the height, multiplied by the average of the two widths.
