A trapezoid is a two-dimensional shape, so it doesn't have surface area. The AREA of a trapezoid is:
(Base1+Base2) X Height Divided/Over 2.
For example: Imagine a trapezoid. Base 1 (top) measures 6 and Base 2 (bottom) measures 8. The height of the trapezoid from B1 to B2 is ''3''.
Procedure:
(6+8)x3 Divided by 2
14x3 Divided by 2
42 Divided by 2
Ans: 21^2

To calculate the area of a trapezoid, you have to know the lengths of three sides because 1/2*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular height = area
Area = 1/2*(sum of parallel sides)*height
H(b1+ b2)/ 2
You find the surface area of each of its six faces and add them together.
There is none because a trapezoid is a 2D shape but if you meant the area it is:- Area in square units = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
