Formule
## Trapezoid Area ### Formula **Area = ((a + b) / 2) × h** Where a and b are the two parallel sides (bases) and h is the perpendicular height between them. ### Median (Midsegment) The median is the segment connecting the midpoints of the two non-parallel sides. Its length equals the average of the two bases: (a + b) / 2.
Exemple Résolu
Trapezoid with bases 10 and 6, height 4.
- 01Area = ((10 + 6) / 2) × 4
- 02= 8 × 4
- 03= 32
- 04Median = (10 + 6) / 2 = 8
Questions Fréquentes
What is a trapezoid?
A trapezoid (or trapezium in British English) is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides, called the bases.
How do I find the height of a trapezoid?
The height is the perpendicular distance between the two parallel bases. If you know the area and both bases, h = 2A/(a+b).
What is an isosceles trapezoid?
An isosceles trapezoid has equal-length non-parallel sides (legs). Its base angles are equal and it has a line of symmetry.
