The formula is;
A=(b₁+b₂) x h
2
Where; b₁ and b₂ are the bases. h is the height. You have to multiply and divide by 2. Hope i helped. Have a nice day

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

The formula for the volume of a trapezoid is

Area =
(1)/(2) (base 1 + base 2) × height

The bases of a trapezoid are the parallel sides.
