Area of a Trapezoid

Front

What is the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid?

Back

Area = (1/2) × (Base1 + Base2) × Height

Front

If a trapezoid has bases of 5 in and 9 in, and a height of 4 in, what is its area?

Back

Area = (1/2) × (5 + 9) × 4 = 28 in²

What are the bases of a trapezoid?

Back

The bases are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid.

Front

What is the height of a trapezoid?

Back

The height is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

Front

Calculate the area of a trapezoid with bases of 4 ft and 8 ft, and a height of 5 ft.

Back

Area = (1/2) × (4 + 8) × 5 = 30 ft²

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

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

Front

If a trapezoid has an area of 50 cm² and a height of 5 cm, what is the sum of the lengths of the bases?

Back

Sum of bases = (Area × 2) / Height = (50 × 2) / 5 = 20 cm.

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases of 10 m and 14 m, and a height of 6 m.

Back

Area = (1/2) × (10 + 14) × 6 = 72 m²

Front

What is the relationship between the bases and the area of a trapezoid?

Back

The area of a trapezoid increases as the lengths of the bases increase.

Front

If the height of a trapezoid is doubled, how does that affect the area?

Back

The area of the trapezoid also doubles if the height is doubled, assuming the bases remain the same.
