How to use Trapezoid Area Calculator
Enter ✎ value for length of base 1 \((b1)\).
Enter ✎ value for length of base 2 \((b2)\).
Enter ✎ value for height \((h)\).
The result appears beneath the inputs as you enter values.
About this calculation
The area of a Trapezoid can be calculated using the parallel bases whose lengths are b1, and b2, and the height of the Trapezoid which is the perperdicular distance between the parallel sides.
Formula
To calculate the trapezoid area, you can use the following formula.
Area = \({\ \dfrac{ h ( b1 + b2 )}{2}\ }\)
