What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides.

If the bases of a trapezoid are 10 cm and 6 cm, and the height is 4 cm, what is the area?

Back

Area = (1/2) × (10 + 6) × 4 = 32 cm²

What is the height of a triangle if the area is 50 ft² and the base is 10 ft?

Back

Height = (2 × Area) / Base = (2 × 50) / 10 = 10 ft
