What this tool is for
Trapezoid Area Calculator supports math checking in math calculators by showing how apply the formula shown on this page to the entered values. The page keeps the inputs, formula, and example together so the calculation can be checked before the number is reused.
When to use it
Use it when base 1, base 2, and height are already known and you need a quick estimate before comparing options, checking a worksheet, or copying the result into another workflow.
Inputs
- Base 1 is one of the direct inputs used to calculate trapezoid area.
- Base 2 is one of the direct inputs used to calculate trapezoid area.
- Height describes the size or distance used in the calculation.
Formula
area = (base1 + base2) / 2 x height
Example
Bases 8 and 5 with height 4 gives area 26.
What the result means
The result labeled "Area" is the direct output of area = (base1 + base2) / 2 x height. In the worked example, bases 8 and 5 with height 4 gives area 26.
Before you rely on the result
Check the inputs and formula before using the result in homework, engineering, finance, or scientific work.
