The area of a trapezium is found because: 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height = area
Let the two parallel sides be a and b, and the distance between them, the height of the trapezium, be h. Then: area of trapezium = 1/2 (a+b) h That is half the sum of the two parallel sides times the height of the trapezium.
0.5 * (a + b) * h
Simple. It is zero, since a six sided trapezium cannot exist! By definition, a trapezium is a quadrilateral and so it can have exactly four sides - no more, no fewer!
The information given describes a square and not a trapezium. Area of the square = 3*3 = 9 square cm
area of trapezium=1/2{a+b}h
Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*heightNote: A trapezium in the UK is known as a trapezoid in the USA

The area of a trapezium is given by 0.5*(a+b)*h where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the vertical distance between them. The fact that the trapezium is isosceles does not matter. A trapezium is a 2 dimensional object and so it has no volume.
You do not need to transpose anything to get the formula for the area of a trapezium! (I need the transpose the formula so a is the subject thank you)
0.5 * (a + b) * h
It's 54
A trapezium is a 2-dimensional shape and so has no volume. If you were thinking of area, there is not enough information to answer.
Area of a trapezium = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area = 1/2*(sum of the parallel sides)*height
