Question

Use two different methods to find an explain the formula for the area of a trapezoid that has parallel sides of length a and B and height H. Consider these ideas or others: combine two copies of a trapezoid to make a parallelogram. Subdivide the trapezoid into two triangles one with base b and one with base a.

Answer 1

The two ways that can be used to find the area of a trapezoid include:

• A = (a + b) × h/2
• A = a × h

How to illustrate the information?

It should be noted that a trapezoid simply means a four sided shape that has parallel sides.

To find the area of the shape goes thus:

Find the length of each base.

Find the height of the trapezoid.

Substitute the values into the formula: A = (a + b) × h/2
