What is a Trapezoid?
A trapezoid is a four-sided shape (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides. These parallel sides are called the "bases."
The Area Formula
To find the area, you take the average of the two bases and multiply it by the height: Area = ½(Base₁ + Base₂) × Height.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the height have to be a straight line?
Yes, the height must be a perpendicular line drawn straight down from the top base to the bottom base, forming a 90-degree angle.
