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).
Area = (1/2)*(sum of the parallel sides)*(distance between them)
Area = 1/2*(sum of the parallel sides)*height
area of trapezium=1/2{a+b}h
The formula for the area of a trapezium (or trapezoid) works by averaging the lengths of the two parallel sides (bases) and then multiplying by the height. This approach effectively transforms the trapezium into a rectangle with the same height and an area equivalent to that of the trapezium. By using the average of the bases, the formula accounts for the varying widths at either end, ensuring an accurate calculation of the total area. Thus, the formula ( \text{Area} = \frac{(b_1 + b_2)}{2} \times h ) captures the geometric properties of the shape.

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
