The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 (b1 + b2)/h where b1 is the upper base of the trapezoid , b2 is the lower base of the trapezoid and h is the height of the trapezoid. Since a triangle has only one base , replace either b1 or b2 with zero. Thus the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh
H(b1+ b2)/ 2
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
Trapezoid Area = (1/2)(b1 + b2)(h) We have: b1 = 6cm b2 = 8 cm h = 5 cm Substitute the given values into the area formula: Trapezoid Area = (1/2)(b1 + b2)(h) Trapezoid Area = (1/2)(6 cm + 8 cm)(5 cm) Trapezoid Area = (1/2)(14 cm)(5 cm) Trapezoid Area = (7 cm)(5 cm) Trapezoid Area = 35 cm^2
a=1/2(b1+b2)*h
