Area of a trapezoid = (1/2) x (height) x (length of the base + length of the top)
you can see the length of base1(example) and see the length of base2 to find out the answer of lets say the top base of a trapezoid.
A trapezoid is a 4 sided quadrilateral with one pair of opposite parallel lines of different lengths and the formula for its area is:- 0.5*(parallel side+parallel side)*width or height = area To find the length of a parallel side one of its parallel sides must be given as well as its width and area and so:- Parallel side = (2*area)/(width) - known parallel side
Find the average of the two sides (Longest length plus shortest length. Divide this addition by 2). Multiply the result by its height (which is the distance between the longest side and the shortest side).
Find the total length of the parallel sides and divide the result by 2. Next, multiply that number by the height of the trapezoid.
