Frequently Asked Questions
What is the trapezoid area formula?
Area equals the average of the two base lengths, times the height: (base A plus base B) times height, divided by 2.
What counts as the height here?
Height is the perpendicular distance between the two parallel bases, not the length of a slanted leg. If you only know a leg length and its angle, first find the perpendicular height using trigonometry.
Does this formula work for any trapezoid shape?
Yes, this formula applies to any trapezoid, right, isosceles, or otherwise irregular, as long as you know both base lengths and the true perpendicular height between them.
