Answer: No.
Explanation: Area of trapezoid = 1/2(b1 + b2) * h where b1 is length of base one, b2 is length of base 2 and h is height.
this equation = 1/2*b1*h + 1/2*b2*h
double one base:
1/2(2*b1+b2) *h = b1*h+1/2*b2*h = (b1+1/2*b2)*h
in order for the area to double, both bases would have to double which would cancel out both 1/2's. Only one is cancelled out so the area would increase but not double

FranIf you double the height and bases of a trapezoid, the area quadruples.

Does the area of the trapezoid double if the height double?
If the base length b and the top length a remain the same, then the area will double if the height his doubled.Area = ((a+b) x h ) / 2Please note that a trapezoid has the top a and base b parallel.
What is the area of a trapezoid with base of 4Cm and 28Cm?
The height of the trapezoid is also needed to find its area which is as follows:- Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of bases or parallel sides)*height
What is the formula for a trapezoid?
The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of the lengths of each side. To find the area of a trapezoid: add base 1 and base 2 together then divide that answer by 2, then multiply it by the height of the trapezoid.
How do you get the base of a trapezoid without the area?
Simply measure it and the parallel bases of a trapezoid will have different lengths.
What is the area of a trapezoid with bases of 3 yards and 7 yards and a height of 3 yards?
The area of a trapezoid is 1/2 * (base 1 + base 2) * height, so the area of this trapezoid = 0.5*(3+7)*3 = 15 square yards
