Here is one way.
Find the average of the two parrallel sides (i.e. the top and bottom), and then multiply that by the height. That's it.
To find the average of the parrallel sides, add them to gether and divide by two.
Example: average of 4 and 6 = (4+6) divided by 2. Which equals 10 divided by 2 which is 5. That's it. And 5 looks right to because its in between 4 and 6.

Area = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height There also is a little rhyme to help you remember that i leanreed in year 7: half the sum of the parallel sides times the distance between them thats the way that i found out the area of a trapezium; sung in the way of the pied piper song.
The word trapezium contains four syllables.
A trapezium is a 4 sided quadrilateral with a pair of opposite parallel sides that have different lengths
