It works because a trapezoid is made up of two triangles , both with the same altitude, that altitude being the height of the trapezoid. If the bases ( i.e parallel sides are a and b and the height is h. one triangle has area 1/2ah and the other 1/2 bh so the total area is
1/2ah+ 1/2bh = 1/2h(a+b).

How do you to find the value of x in a trapizoid?
The answer depends on what x is. And also, it is a trapezoid, not trapizoid!

What do you do to find the area of an object?
To find the area of a object you do width x highth for a rectangle. You multiply on side of the object 4 times to get the area of a square. To find the area of a trapizoid, the formula is, 1/2 times highth (base 1 plus base 2).
Why does the formula for area of a circle work?

What is the formula to work out the area of a parrallegram?
Area = base*height
How do you prove the formula for the area of a rectangle?
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length x breadth. In order to prove this works, work out an area of a rectangle using that formula.

How many lines of symmetry does a trapizoid have?
A TRAPIZOID has 2 lines of symmetry
How many right angles in a trapizoid?
There are zero right angles in a trapizoid............
Why is a trapizoid not a quadrilateral?
Most probably because there is no such word as trapizoid. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral.
