How to use Trapezoid Perimeter Calculator
Enter ✎ value for length of base 1 \((b1)\).
Enter ✎ value for length of base 2 \((b2)\).
Enter ✎ value for length of first non-parallel side \((a)\).
Enter ✎ value for length of second non-parallel side \((c)\).
The result appears beneath the inputs as you enter values.
About this calculation
The perimeter of a trapezoid is the sum of length of its four sides.
Formula
To calculate the trapezoid perimeter, you can use the following formula.
Perimeter = \( a + b1 + c + b2 \)
