Each of its parallel sides is classed as a base
(base1 + base2)/2 = midsegment
The area of a trapezoid is equal to half the sum of the lengths of the two parallel sides (base1 and base2) multiplied by the height. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = (base1 + base2) * height / 2.
A trapezoid is a two-dimensional object. 2d objects do not have volume. To calculate the area, see below. With the parallel sides as base1 and base2, and the distance between them as the height: height*(base1+base2)/2
you have to work backwards to find your answer. once you have the area, you have to do a= height times (base 1 + base 2) divided by two.
The parallel sides are often referred to as base1 and base2.
1/2 times height times (base1+base2)
you can see the length of base1(example) and see the length of base2 to find out the answer of lets say the top base of a trapezoid.
Area = 1/2*(6+4)*height
To measure the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula: Area = (1/2) * (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) * (height). Simply add the lengths of the two parallel sides together, multiply by the height, and then divide by 2 to find the area of the trapezoid.
No, the formula for a trapezoid's area is (base1 +base2)x height divided by 2, so the bases are only part of the total area.
To find the height of a trapezoid given the area and bases, you can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid, which is A = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases, and h is the height. Rearrange the formula to solve for h: h = 2A / (b1 + b2). Plug in the known values for the area and the bases to calculate the height of the trapezoid.
