1/2*(sum of both parallel bases)*height = area

multiply both sides by 2 and then divide both sides by (sum of both parallel bases)

height = (2*area) divided by (sum of both parallel sides)

How do you find height of a trapezoid?

A trapezoid is a polygon. Therefore, a trapezoid has no height


What is the formula to find volume of a trapezoid?

The trapezoid is a plane figure which has surface Area, but no volume but if there was a 3d figure your equation would be. The Surface Area of a trapezoid = ½(b1+b2) x h X Height of figure.


How do you figure out the area of a trapazoid?

-- Add the lengths of the two 'bases' (the two parallel sides). -- Multiply the sum by the height of the trapezoid. -- Take 1/2 of the product. That's the trapezoid's area.

How can you find the area of a composite figures trapezoid with a triangle?

To find the area of a composite figure consisting of a trapezoid and a triangle, you would first calculate the area of the trapezoid using the formula A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2), where h is the height of the trapezoid and b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel bases. Then, you would calculate the area of the triangle using the formula A = (1/2)bh, where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height. Finally, you would add the areas of the trapezoid and the triangle together to find the total area of the composite figure.
