How do you find the area of a trapezoid using the area of a triangle?

You have to cut the trapezoid into three shapes. The three shapes will be two triangles and one rectangle or square. You have to find the area of these three shapes and then add all of the three areas up to find the area of the trapezoid.


Can you draw a trapezoid with two right angles?

Yes, you can draw a trapezoid with a pair of right angles, but they will have to be adjacent to each other. A trapezoid (American English definition) is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. Let's construct one using a rectangle for a start. Take a rectangle, stand it on its end ("long" side up) and then slash it across the top with a sharp sword so you cut off a shape that is not a rectangle. That leaves a shape that is not a rectangle, but has two right angles at the base, one for each side. The shape you have is a trapezoid (just as the one you cut off is), and the two sides are parallel. Use the link below to check out some other things.


What is a trapezoid cut in half called?

It could be two trapezoids, or a triangle and a quadrilateral. It all depends on where the cut is made.


If you cut a rectangle in half does it make a square?

No. There is no way you can cut one rectangle in half and only get one square. The other half would also have to be a square and this will only happen if the proportions are 1:2 and you cut the long sides.There are infinitely many ways to cut a rectangle in half none of which result in new rectangles. Only if the rectangle has proportions 1:2 can cutting it in half make a square, in fact the result could be two squares, not one.
