How do I find the area of a trapezoid?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid is found with the formula, A=(a+b)/2 x h. Learn how to use the formula to find area of trapezoids.

The two parallel sides are the bases, and height, as always, is the perpendicular distance from one base to the opposite. The area of this parallelogram is its height (half-height of the trapezoid) times its base (sum of the bases of the trapezoid), so its area is half-height × (base1 + base2).
