Area = a [(b1 + b2)/2]a = altitude (height) of the trapezoidb1 = length of one baseb2 = length of the other base
First you write the formula for the area of a trapezium, either from memory or by looking it up. Then you substitute the lengths of the sides in your trapezium for each of the appropriate terms in the formula. Oh, all right: Area = 1/2 (height) x (length of base-1 plus length of base-2).
