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.
Example Calculation
Trapezoid with bases 10 and 6, height 4.
- 01Area = ((10 + 6) / 2) × 4
- 02= 8 × 4
- 03= 32
- 04Median = (10 + 6) / 2 = 8
