What is the area of a trapezoid with a length of 7 height of 3 and a width of 12?
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*( sum of parallel sides)*height
How do you find the length of a trapezoid when area and width are given?
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
What is the area of a trapezoid if the perimeter is 32?
Unlike a square, knowing the perimeter of a trapezoid is not enough to be able to calculate its area. Think of a rectangle with a perimeter of 20cm. One possibility is that it has a length of 8cm and a width of 2cm. This would give and area of 16cm2. However the rectangle could have also had a length of 7cm and a width of 3cm as this would also give a perimeter of 20cm. However this rectangle now has an area of 21cm2. To be able to calculate the area of the trapezoid, you would need to know more about it than just its perimeter.
