Trapezoid Area

A convex quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides is referred to as a trapezoid. The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid, and the other two sides are called the legs or the lateral sides. The area is the space enclosed within the trapezoid.

The area equals half the height times the sum of the bases.

Formula

QuantityVariable["A", "Area"] == (QuantityVariable["h", "Height"]*(QuantityVariable[Subscript["b", "1"], "Length"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["b", "2"], "Length"]))/2

Examples

Get the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Trapezoid Area"]
Out[1]=

Get the formula:

In[2]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Trapezoid Area"]]
Out[2]=

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Trapezoid Area"], {QuantityVariable[ \!\(\*SubscriptBox[\("b"\), \("2"\)]\),"Length"] -> 8, QuantityVariable["h","Height"] -> 5, QuantityVariable[ \!\(\*SubscriptBox[\("b"\), \("1"\)]\),"Length"] -> 4}]
Out[3]=
