The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula
area = h*(a+b)/2
where h is the height
a, b are the 2 parallel sides of the trapezium.
Now assuming numerical values, if h = 8 units, a = 16 units and b = 10 units. then Area is
8*(10+16)/2 = 104 Sq. units

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
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
Not enough information. To calculate this you must know the altitude or height.
The general formula to calculate area of a trapezoid ( and an isosceles trapezoid) is:AREA=(Sum of parallel sides)(Distance between parallel sides)/2. And if you find this formula difficult, calculate separately the area of two right angled triangles and a rectangles. For more details, contact at saqibahmad81@yahoo.com
