Fórmula
Formula: S = ½(a + b) × h. Where a is the top base, b is the bottom base, and h is the height. The median line is m = (a + b) / 2.
Perguntas Frequentes
How do you calculate the area of a trapezoid?
Add both bases, multiply by the height, and divide by 2: S = ½(a + b) × h.
What is the median line of a trapezoid?
The median (or midsegment) connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides. Its length equals the average of the two bases: m = (a + b) / 2.
Does the formula work for all trapezoids?
Yes. The formula S = ½(a + b)h works for any trapezoid as long as you know both parallel sides and the perpendicular height between them.
