AREA = A = 1/2 (b1 + b2)(h) h= height = 2(A) / (b1 + b2)
The area of a trapezoid is 1/2 times the sum of the bases * the height. In this case, we have the area of 65 = 1/2 * (13+13) * height. Solving for height, we have 65 * 2 / 26, so h = 5. If the two bases of a quadrilateral are of the same length, it is not a parallelogram, but a rectangle.
Which of the following formulas is used to find the area of a trapezoid? Solution: 1/2 h(B+b) The area of a trapezoid is 1/2 times the height times the sum of both bases. h is the height, b is the top base and B is the bottom base. A trapezoid=1/2×h×(B+b)
The Trapezoid area formula would be (b1 + b2) H _________ 2 What this means is you add together both of the bases (top and bottom! and be sure to put b1 + b2 in parenthasis or you might loose points on a quiz!) then, the sum will be multiplied by the height. then once you have that, divide by 2.
They both use perpendicular height and are in square units. Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
