Area of Trapezoid

Front

What is the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula A = (b1 + b2)h / 2, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases and h is the height.

If the bases of a trapezoid are 6 cm and 8 cm, what is the total length of the bases?

Back

The total length of the bases is 6 cm + 8 cm = 14 cm.

Front

If the height of a trapezoid is 5 cm and the bases are 10 cm and 12 cm, what is the area?

Back

A = (10 cm + 12 cm) * 5 cm / 2 = 55 cm².
