How Can You Find the Area of a Trapezoid?
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.
4
Step One - Divide the Trapezoid into Parts
-Find the length of any missing base or height.
-The base of the 2nd triangle is 2ft because 14ft - 12ft = 2ft
5
Step Two - Find the area of each part
1. Triangle 1 (B = 4, H = 7): 4ft x 7ft divided by 2. feet
2. Triangle 2 (B = 2, H = 7): 2ft x 7ft divided by 2. feet
3. Rectangle (B = 12, H = 7): 12ft x 7ft = 84ft.
6
Step Three - Add the areas of the triangles and rectangle.
Triangle 1: 14 feet
Triangle 2: 7 feetRectangle: 84 feet
14 + 7 + 84 = 105 sq ft
