Best Answer

A trapezoid is a two-dimensional shape, so it doesn't have surface area. The AREA of a trapezoid is:

(Base1+Base2) X Height Divided/Over 2.

For example: Imagine a trapezoid. Base 1 (top) measures 6 and Base 2 (bottom) measures 8. The height of the trapezoid from B1 to B2 is ''3''.

Procedure:

(6+8)x3 Divided by 2

14x3 Divided by 2

42 Divided by 2

Ans: 21^2
