Area = a [(b1 + b2)/2]
a = altitude (height) of the trapezoid
b1 = length of one base
b2 = length of the other base
1 - (a+b) X h 2
Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*heightNote: A trapezium in the UK is known as a trapezoid in the USA
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).
Area = (1/2)*(sum of the parallel sides)*(distance between them)
Area = 1/2*(sum of the parallel sides)*height
1 - (a+b) X h 2
area of trapezium=1/2{a+b}h
Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*heightNote: A trapezium in the UK is known as a trapezoid in the USA

0.5 * (a + b) * h
Area = (1/2)*(sum of the parallel sides)*(distance between them)
It is: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height
Area = 1/2*(sum of the parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezium = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
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)
Let's call the parallel sides A and B, and the distance between them as H. The area of the trapezium, or K, is (A+B)H/2. K = (A+B)H/2
In UK terms:- Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height and measured in square units
