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 many does a trapezoid have?

A trapezoid figure has 4 sides.


If this figure is an isosceles trapezoid what is the measure of?

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

A trapezoid has 2 inner triangles and so work out the area of each triangle then add them together. Alternatively use the formula for area of a trapezoid which is:- 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height

What is the formula to figure out the measure of any trapezoid?

Perimeter = sum of its 4 sides Area = 0.5*(sum of 2 parallel sides)*height


How do find the area of an isosceles tringle?

The area of ANY triangle is base x height. The height must be measured perpendicular to the base. In the case of an isosceles triangle, if you know only the length of the sides, you can figure out the height by Pythagoras' Theorem.
