It is the sum of its 4 sides
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is:A = (1/2) (b1 + b2 ) h
The formula for finding the diagonals of any polygon is: 0.5*(n2-3n) where n = the number of sides. A trapezoid has 4 sides so: 0.5*(16-12) = 2 diagonals
Area = 1/2*(sum of parallel sides)*height and measured in square units
You are not finding the area you are finding the volume. The answers is 1232 cm3
It is the sum of its 4 sides
A=m*h m=(a+b)/2
Area = 1/2*(sum of the two bases)*height
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is:A = (1/2) (b1 + b2 ) h
The formula for finding the diagonals of any polygon is: 0.5*(n2-3n) where n = the number of sides. A trapezoid has 4 sides so: 0.5*(16-12) = 2 diagonals
Area measured in square units = 1/2*(sum of the parallel sides)*height
Area = 1/2*(sum of parallel sides)*height and measured in square units

The formula isV = 0 . Being a 2-dimensional entity, a trapezoid has no volume.That is, a trapezoid can't hold any water.
The Trapezoid area formula would be (b1 + b2) H _________ 2 What this means is you add together both of the bases (top and bottom! and be sure to put b1 + b2 in parenthasis or you might loose points on a quiz!) then, the sum will be multiplied by the height. then once you have that, divide by 2.
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = (a + b) * h / 2, where a and b are the lengths of the two parallel sides, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
