A trapezoid is the quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides parallel.
It should be noted that trapezoid can have right angles and it can have congruent sides.
The area will be illustrated as:
Drop perpendiculars from the short base to the long base. This splits the trapezoid up into a rectangle and two right triangles.
-The area of a rectangle is (length) x (width). The area of a triangle is (1/2) (base x height).
Apply these area formulas to the three parts of the trapezoid, add up, and you'll wind up with Area = (1/2) (height) (long base + short base) for the total area of the trapezoid.
