TRAPEZOIDS

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

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

• Area = Base * Height

• Area = (Base1 + Base2) * Height

• Area = (1/2) * Base1 * Base2

• A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.

• A polygon with three sides.

• A shape that has no sides.

What is the significance of the bases in a trapezoid?

• The bases are the two parallel sides that determine the height and area of the trapezoid.

• The bases are the two non-parallel sides that define the angles of the trapezoid.

• The bases are the lengths of the diagonals that affect the symmetry of the trapezoid.

• The bases are the points where the trapezoid touches the x-axis.

Can a trapezoid have right angles?
