∙ 14y agoArea of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
For a parallelogram, take the base times the height. For a trapezoid, take the smaller base and times it by the height.
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
A trapezoid is a polygon. Therefore, a trapezoid has no height
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height
Height of trapezoid = 2*area/sum of parallel sides
The height of the trapezoid is also needed to find its area which is as follows:- Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of bases or parallel sides)*height
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
If the lengths of the bases are also given then rearrange the area of the trapezoid formula so that the height is the subject.
To measure the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula: Area = (1/2) * (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) * (height). Simply add the lengths of the two parallel sides together, multiply by the height, and then divide by 2 to find the area of the trapezoid.
Height = Area*2/sum of parallel sides
The area of a trapezoid is equal to the height, multiplied by the average of the two widths.
For a parallelogram, take the base times the height. For a trapezoid, take the smaller base and times it by the height.
That is not enough information. You need to know the top and the height as well (or some other variables).
