Trapezoid area
Calculate trapezoid area from its two parallel side lengths and perpendicular separation.
Method and scope
A = ½(a + b)h.
Use trapezoid area for educational calculation or a clearly scoped arithmetic estimate. Intended for Learners, General educational use.
Inputs- Parallel side 1 — m, cm, ft
- Parallel side 2 — m, cm, ft
- Perpendicular height — m, cm, ft
SOURCE AND LIMITS
Assumptions: The entered sides are parallel and height is the perpendicular separation.
Limitations: Incorrect identification of parallel sides or perpendicular height changes the answer.
