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

The volume of any right prism is the area of the base, in this case a trapezoid, multiplied by the height of the prism. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h(a + b) where a and b are the bases of the trapezoid (the parallel sides). Once you calculate the area of the trapezoidal base of the prism, multiply that number by its height to get its volume.
With great difficulty because a trapezoid is a 2 dimensional shape which has no volume but it does have a surface area.
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.
The cross section volume of a trapezoid is found between 0 and 2.0.
The formula isV = 0 . Being a 2-dimensional entity, a trapezoid has no volume.That is, a trapezoid can't hold any water.
