Area of Trapezoids

A trapezoid’s area is the region encompassed inside the perimeter.

Formula for the Aera of a Trapezoid

A trapezoid’s area, A, is:

$A \ = \ \frac{1}{2} \ h(b_1 \ + \ b_2)$

when $h$ is the height and $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the base lengths.

Formula for the Aera of a Trapezoid utilizing the Midsegment

A trapezoid’s midsegment is a line segment linking the midpoint of the legs. A midsegment has a length which equals the mean of its $2$ bases, which equals:

$m \ = \ \frac{1}{2} \ (b_1 \ + \ b_2)$
