Which of the following formulas is used to find the area of a trapezoid?
Solution: 1/2 h(B+b)
The area of a trapezoid is 1/2 times the height times the sum of both bases.
h is the height, b is the top base and B is the bottom base.
A trapezoid=1/2×h×(B+b)

Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area in square units = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Area = (1/2) x (height) x (length of lower base + length of upper base)
There is no simple formula and, in any case, the answer will depend on what information about the trapezoid is given.
Area = Base * Height so Base = Area/Height
