Oh, dude, the formula for the area of a trapezium is (a + b) * h / 2, where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the parallel sides and 'h' is the height between them. So, like, you just add the lengths of the parallel sides, multiply that by the height, and then divide by 2. Easy peasy, right?

Formula for area of trapezium?
Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*heightNote: A trapezium in the UK is known as a trapezoid in the USA
What is the formula to work out the area of a trapezium?
1 - (a+b) X h 2
What is the formula of area and perimeter of trapezium?
Area = (1/2)*(sum of the parallel sides)*(distance between them)
Facts about a trapezium?
A trapezium is a quadrilateral (has four sides). Two sides are parellel, but the other two are not. To find the area of it, the formula is: 1/2 h(a+b)
How do you work out the area of a trapizuim?
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).
