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

A trapezoid’s area, \(A\), utilizing the midsegment’s length is:
\(A \ = \ h \times m\)
