Area of Trapezoids

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

What are the bases of a trapezoid?

Back

The bases of a trapezoid are the two parallel sides.

Front

How do you find the height of a trapezoid?

Back

The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula: Area = (1/2) * (Base1 + Base2) * Height.
