Area = ½ × (a + b) × h, where a and b are the two parallel sides and h is the perpendicular distance between them. With a = 6, b = 10, h = 4: area = ½ × 16 × 4 = 32.

Questions

What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?

Area = ½ × (a + b) × h, where a and b are the lengths of the two parallel sides and h is the perpendicular height between them. For 6, 10 and 4, the area is 32.
