Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*heightNote: A trapezium in the UK is known as a trapezoid in the USA
Area = 1/2*(sum of the parallel sides)*height
Suppose the base and parallel sides of the trapezium are labelled a and b. Suppose, also, that the distance between a and b is h. Draw a diagonal. This will split the trapezium into one triangle whose base is the trapezium's base (a) and another upside-down triangle whose base is the trapezium's top (b). The heights of both these triangles will be the same as the distance between the parallel sides of the trapezium (h). The area of the first triangle is 0.5*a*h The area of the second triangle is 0.5*b*h So the area of the trapezium = 0.5*a*h + 0.5*b*h = 0.5*(a+b)*h
Area = (1/2)*(sum of the parallel sides)*(distance between them)
A trapezium is a quadrilateral (has four sides). Two sides are parellel, but the other two are not. To find the area of it, the formula is: 1/2 h(a+b)
area of trapezium=1/2{a+b}h
The area of a trapezium is found because: 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height = area
Let the two parallel sides be a and b, and the distance between them, the height of the trapezium, be h. Then: area of trapezium = 1/2 (a+b) h That is half the sum of the two parallel sides times the height of the trapezium.
Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*heightNote: A trapezium in the UK is known as a trapezoid in the USA
The area of a trapezium is given by 0.5*(a+b)*h where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the vertical distance between them. The fact that the trapezium is isosceles does not matter. A trapezium is a 2 dimensional object and so it has no volume.
0.5 * (a + b) * h
It's 54
A trapezium is a 2-dimensional shape and so has no volume. If you were thinking of area, there is not enough information to answer.
Area of a trapezium = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area = 1/2*(sum of the parallel sides)*height
base times height divide 2
Simple. It is zero, since a six sided trapezium cannot exist! By definition, a trapezium is a quadrilateral and so it can have exactly four sides - no more, no fewer!
