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

If 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
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 are the area and perimeter of a trapezoid?
The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of its bases and legs. The area of a trapezoid is the height times (base 1 + base 2) divided by 2
Formula for area of a trapezoid?
The area of a trapezoid is: base 1 + base 2 times height divided by 2. :) I hope I helped you out a bit ^^
How is the formula for the area of a trapezoid related to the formula for the area for a triangle?
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 (b1 + b2)/h where b1 is the upper base of the trapezoid , b2 is the lower base of the trapezoid and h is the height of the trapezoid. Since a triangle has only one base , replace either b1 or b2 with zero. Thus the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh
How do you find the area of a trapezoid with measurements of 8 cm 9 cm 14cm?
the area of a trapezoid is the height times (base 1 + base 2)
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
Can a trapezoid and parallelogram have the same area?
Yes, certainly. The trapezoid area is one half sum of bases times height and the parallelogram area is base times height If the base of the parallelogram is equal to 1/2 the sum of he trapezoid bases, they have the same area
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.
A trapezoid has a height of 3cm the first base is 5cm and the second base 3cm what is the area?
Area of trapezoid: 0.5*(5+3)*3 = 12 square cm
What is the area of a trapezoid if the meausure of the base is 8 and the height is 5?
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel bases)*height Need to know the measure of the other base
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.
How do you find the area of a parallelogram or trapezoid?
For a parallelogram, take the base times the height. For a trapezoid, take the smaller base and times it by the height.
