How do you find the cross section of an isosceles trapezoid?

The general formula to calculate area of a trapezoid ( and an isosceles trapezoid) is:AREA=(Sum of parallel sides)(Distance between parallel sides)/2. And if you find this formula difficult, calculate separately the area of two right angled triangles and a rectangles. For more details, contact at saqibahmad81@yahoo.com


Formula for volume of a trapezoidal prism?

the volume of a trapezoidal prism is equal to the height times the base area of the trapezoid. First you find the area of trapezoid h(a+b)/2 h is the height of the trapezoid, not the height of the prism a is the length of the top b is the length of the bottom Then you find the volume of the trapezoidal prism with this formula H*h(a+b)/2 H is the height of the prism. Multiply H by the area of the trapezoid that you found in step one.


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.
