It works because a trapezoid is made up of two triangles , both with the same altitude, that altitude being the height of the trapezoid. If the bases ( i.e parallel sides are a and b and the height is h. one triangle has area 1/2ah and the other 1/2 bh so the total area is
1/2ah+ 1/2bh = 1/2h(a+b).

What do you do to find the area of an object?
To find the area of a object you do width x highth for a rectangle. You multiply on side of the object 4 times to get the area of a square. To find the area of a trapizoid, the formula is, 1/2 times highth (base 1 plus base 2).
Why does the formula for area of a circle work?

Why does the formula to find area of a circle always work?
a formula is alway correct
Why is a trapizoid not a quadrilateral?
Most probably because there is no such word as trapizoid. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral.
