Area of Trapezoids

What are the bases of a trapezoid?

• The two parallel sides

• The two non-parallel sides

• The angles of the trapezoid

If the bases of a trapezoid are 10 cm and 6 cm, and the height is 4 cm, what is the area?

• 24 cm²

• 28 cm²

• 32 cm²

• 36 cm²

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

• Area = (1/2) × (Base1 + Base2) × Height

• Area = Base × Height

• Area = (Base1 + Base2) × Height

• Area = (Base1 - Base2) × Height

What is the height of a trapezoid?

• The length of the longer base.

• The length of the shorter base.

• The perpendicular distance between the two bases.

• The sum of the lengths of the bases.
