What is the Area of a Trapezoid?
A trapezoid is a four-sided shape with one pair of parallel sides, called the bases. The area of a trapezoid is the space enclosed within its four sides, measured in square units.
Trapezoid Area Formula
- Area: ((a + b) / 2) × h
- a, b: the lengths of the two parallel sides (bases)
- h: the perpendicular height between the two parallel sides
Tip: Make sure all measurements use the same unit. The result is expressed in square units of that measurement, such as square centimeters or square meters.
