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

• A trapezoid has the same area as a parallelogram.

• A trapezoid is half the area of a parallelogram.

• A trapezoid is twice the area of a parallelogram.

• There is no specific relationship.

How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?

• Multiply the base by the height.

• Add the bases, multiply by the height, then divide by two.

• Subtract one base from the other, then multiply by the height.

• Divide the height by the sum of the bases.

If the bases of a trapezoid are 4 and 6, and the height is 3, what is the area?

• 30 square units

• 18 square units

• 15 square units

• 21 square units

What does the formula '1/2 (base1 + base2) x height' calculate?

• Volume of a trapezoidal prism

• Area of a trapezoid

• Area of a parallelogram

• Perimeter of a trapezoid

How do you find the area of a trapezoid using its bases and height?

• Multiply the sum of the bases by the height.

• Divide the sum of the bases by the height.

• Add the bases, multiply by the height, then divide by two.

• Subtract the smaller base from the larger, then multiply by the height.

If the height of a trapezoid increases, what happens to its area?

• The area remains the same.

• The area decreases.

• The area increases.

• It depends on the bases.

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

• Area = (Base1 + Base2) x Height

• Area = 1/2 (Base1 + Base2) x Height

• Area = Base1 x Base2 x Height

• Area = (Base1 - Base2) x Height / 2

Which statement is true about the bases in the trapezoid area formula?

• Only the longer base is used in the formula.

• Both bases are added together in the formula.

• Only the shorter base is used in the formula.

• The bases are multiplied together in the formula.

In a trapezoid with bases 8 and 5, and height 3, what is the area?

• 39 square units

• 19.5 square units

• 26 square units

• 13.5 square units

What is the area of a trapezoid with bases 6 and 8, and height 3?

• 12 square units

• 42 square units

• 21 square units

• 24 square units
