Question

How do you find the area and perimeter of a trapezoid?

Answer 1

Area of a trapezoid =
`(b_(1) +b_(2) )/(2) h`

Perimeter of a trapezoid = All of the sides added together

In this case:

Area: 32.5 m²

Perimeter: 26 m

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is base 1 + base 2 divided by 2, and then multiplied by the height.

The perimeter of all shapes is all of the sides added together.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

The area of a trapezoid, A, equals h, the height of the trapezoid, times the length of base one plus the length of base two divided by two.
The perimeter of a trapezoid, P, equals the measure of base one plus the measure of base two plus the measure of leg one plus the measure of leg two
That is as simple as i can make it lol. i hope it helps some
