Area of a Trapezoid

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a four-sided polygon (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.

Front

If a trapezoid has bases of 5 feet and 7 feet, and a height of 3 feet, what is its area?

Back

Area = (1/2) * (5 + 7) * 3 = 18 square feet.

Front

What are the bases of a trapezoid?

Back

The bases of a trapezoid are the two parallel sides.

Front

What is the height of a trapezoid?

Back

The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

Front

How do you identify a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid can be identified by its two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides.

Front

What is the area of a trapezoid with bases of 10 m and 6 m, and a height of 4 m?

Back

Area = (1/2) * (10 + 6) * 4 = 32 square meters.

Front

What is the difference between a trapezoid and a parallelogram?

Back

A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, while a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides.

Front

If the area of a trapezoid is 22.5 m² and the bases are 5 m and 10 m, what is the height?

Back

Height = (Area * 2) / (Base1 + Base2) = (22.5 * 2) / (5 + 10) = 3 m.

Front

What is a right trapezoid?

Back

A right trapezoid is a trapezoid that has two right angles.
